More Information

All diamonds are present and relatively bright and lively. The principal full Dutch rose cut diamond measures approx 7.75 x 6.45 x ~1.9mm. Some of the enamel is chipped and missing, particularly on the blue feathers. The top feather tip on right-hand side is bent down behind the other feathers. The mount has general wear and abrasions alongside some solder repairs visible on the back, namely a new brooch fitting. Overall the brooch is in good condition considering the age.
