Cute Victorian Montrose Agate & Gold Sottish Thistle Intaglio Fob 22k gold band ring old cut diamond collet set

old cut diamond collet set in silver

1g 6cm incl bale x 4cm widest point

Its borrowing a lot from the French Art Nouveau style and the casting is very clean and crisp as you find in French pieces so it may have started life there and then has been imported or it could have been made by a British jeweller with a French flair

Box shown is nothing exciting and much later but its the one its obviously lived in for a while so its included

Bear in mind that this isn't something you can just chuck on with a load of other necklaces and a big coat - its quite dainty and if it gets snagged on something its likely to break so go easy

Cute Victorian Montrose Agate & Gold Sottish Thistle Intaglio Fob 22k gold band ring old cut diamond collet setDescription: Very sweet and well made piece of Victorian pebble jewellery this one is earlier than the usual things you see, mostly semi mass produced brooches, and the thistle intaglio has been exquisitely carved so that you can even see the little veins on the leaves and the cross hatching on the thistle bud. We've collected, owned and sold thousands of pieces of Scottish jewellery and this is the only one of these we've seen. Age: c1860 Victorian
