Flower dating from around 1840, with pointed petals highlighted by rose-cut diamonds around an old-cut diamond center. A red gold back supports the delicate silver setting, while a screw fitting on the reverse suggests an earlier life as part of a larger jewel. Now a brooch, this small diamond flower evokes both the Romantic era’s affection for nature and an intriguing glimpse of its own past.
- Type of jewel: diamond flower brooch.
- Condition: very good condition, with slight wear consistent with age.
- Country of origin: unknown.
- Style: Romanticism. The radiant flower, with its pointed petals and delicate openwork spaces between the diamond settings, reflects the early 19th-century taste for nature-inspired ornaments. A central old-cut diamond highlights the surrounding rose-cut diamonds that follow the contours of the flower.
- Period: circa 1840.
- Source of inspiration: nature.
- Theme: stylized flower in full bloom.
- Material: 18K red gold back, tested with a touchstone, with diamond settings in silver.
- Technique: silver on gold construction with pierced openwork decoration, giving the diamond-set flower a light and open silhouette.
- Additional information: the brooch fitting is attached to the reverse by a screw mechanism. This suggests that the flower once formed part of a larger jewel, offering an interesting indication of its earlier use. The original arrangement has not been established.
- Diamonds: one central old-cut diamond, with an estimated weight of 0.18 ct, color F to H and clarity VS to SI.
- The weight, color, and clarity of the diamond are approximate, as the stone was assessed in its setting and was not removed for grading or weighing.
- Sixty-one rose-cut diamonds, arranged around the center and across all the petals.
- Each diamond in this brooch has been individually tested using the EXA natural diamond detector developed by Magilabs; each test produced a natural diamond result.
- Total diamond weight: approximately 0.18 ct, excluding the 61 rose-cut diamonds.
- Rose-cut diamonds are traditionally described by their number rather than by an estimated weight, color, or clarity. Their irregular proportions, often combined with closed-back settings, make reliable weight estimation and standard grading impractical when mounted.
- Traditional associations of the stones: diamonds are traditionally associated with the month of April and symbolize enduring love and strength.
- Hallmarks: no trace of any hallmark was found.
- Dimensions: 26.7 × 28.4 mm (1.05 × 1.12 in). See the photograph with a millimeter scale.
- Weight: 6.7 g.
