"Rather than regarding inclusions in coloured stones as harmful, in small sizes and numbers that do not in any way detract from their beauty, they should be regarded as adding to desirability, for they provide identifying characteristics."

Images do not always reflect the true colour and brilliance of gemstones and diamonds. The video however provides a truer representation of the actual colour and showcases each stone.


This impressive vintage 1950's brooch is fine quality set with garnets, rubies, an emerald and very well colour matched, very high colour graded old cut diamonds.

The brooch is a very good gauge of gold and is in excellent condition with clear hallmarks to the reverse of the setting.


Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this fine example of vintage jewellery.
