Beschreibung:

A collection of nine brooches, comprising a sapphire and diamond elongated lozenge-shaped brooch, centred with a round mixed-cut sapphire, between two old-cut diamonds, diamonds approximately 0.2 carats each, within pierced foliate decoration with rose-cut diamond highlights, together with a French early 20th century two colour gold and pearl open work brooch, designed as a spray of mistletoe, with French eagle’s head guarantee mark and partially struck lozenge maker’s mark to the pin mounting, a three stone sapphire bar brooch of scrolling design, claw set with three round mixed-cut sapphires, a Victorian style 9ct gold amethyst set bar brooch, a 15ct gold single stone citrine set bar brooch, a peridot and seed pearl set bar brooch, an opal set bar brooch, the cabochon collet set, and two further gem set bar brooches, first brooch length 59mm, second 37mm. £500-700 Condition Report First brooch - there is an internal fracture to the central sapphire, extending across the stone, and reaching the surface near to one end. The two old-cut diamonds are bright and lively, and of good colour and clarity, the remaining small rose-cut are rather roughly cut, with abrasions, evident under 10x magnification, one of the very small stones appears to be replaced possibly with a white paste. The second brooch is in good condition, with lightly textured foliate, and three small pearls (untested for origin), no signs of damage or repair. Remaining brooches all in generally good condition, no stones missing.
