Designed as a twelve-pointed star, the piece is set throughout with old mine cut diamonds — an estimated 2.2 carats in total, G–I colour and VS–SI clarity — with a larger central stone of approximately 0.6 carats (H\/I, SI2) that anchors the composition with real presence. The old mine cut diamonds, with their characteristic high crowns and small tables, have a warmth and depth of scintillation that modern cuts cannot replicate. The brooch fitting is removable, allowing the piece to be worn equally as a pendant — a versatility that was much prized in the Victorian era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA genuinely beautiful and wearable piece of antique jewellery — the twelve-pointed star is a rarer and more dramatic form than the more common six-point, and a 2.2-carat old mine cut example of this quality is a serious collector's piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCirca:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1880\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver and 15ct gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiamonds:\u003c\/strong\u003e Old mine cut throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentral Diamond:\u003c\/strong\u003e c.0.6ct, H\/I colour, SI2 clarity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEstimated Total Diamond Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e c.2.2 carats, G–I colour, VS–SI clarity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWear:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brooch or pendant (fitting removable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 × 4cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHallmarks:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tests as 15ct gold and silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Wildsmith Jewellery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55774834393472,"sku":null,"price":3950.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0273\/2127\/0385\/files\/94D7624A-BBE5-45C9-AEBD-9DB269DC5AA5.jpg?v=1741991963","url":"https:\/\/wildsmithjewellery.co.uk\/da\/products\/victorian-old-mine-cut-diamond-star-brooch-pendant-c-2-2ct-silver-gold-c-1880","provider":"Wildsmith Jewellery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
