Pearl and Blue Coloured Glass, 9 ct Yellow Gold 'Spider' Brooch - Antique Circa 1890

Description

This impressive antique bar brooch has been crafted in 9 ct yellow gold in the form of a spider.

The cephalothorax of this fine representation of an arachnid is ornamented with a 2.5mm pearl, and the abdomen embellished with a mixed oval cut blue coloured glass stone which resembles a sapphire.

The stones are both displayed in millgrain decorated collet settings.

Completing the spider, are eight realistically modelled legs.

This piece of Victorian jewellery secures to the reverse with a hallmarked hinged pin and hook fastening.

The hallmarks to the pin and hook fastening include the 9 ct fineness hallmark (375) and the Sheffield Assay Office mark (Sheffield rose).

The Victorian spider brooch is supplied with an independent diamond grading report card.

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.
