Estate Originals 18K Yellow Gold Platinum Bezel 0.78 av. ctw Diamond Brooch

This vintage brooch is fashioned as a bar pin and boasts an Old European cut diamond, set within a platinum bezel and pierced basket. This basket is situated and incorporated within the 18K yellow gold pin, toward the end that does not open. When worn, the diamond appears to be floating because the bar, itself, is very thin and sleek, at the top.  

An old European cut diamond has a round shape featuring 58 large facets and a small circle in the center (the open culet) and was primarily cut, by hand, between 1890-1930. They were especially common during the Art Deco period. These antique diamonds were one of the predecessors to the modern round brilliant cut diamond, which is now the most popular diamond shape. The sparkle of old cut diamonds is deeper and warmer, almost glowing in a way that draws the eye into the stone instead of bouncing the light back out. This makes old cut diamonds star performers in candlelight and other low light settings.
