The intricate foliate design features vibrant pigeon blood rubies paired with crisp old cut diamonds, while delicate enamel work peeks through the pierced pattern for added dimension. The reverse is fitted with a secure rat-tail pin and safety catch. This exceptional piece displays the soft satin patina of fine period gold and remains in outstanding condition—a true testament to late Victorian artistry and design excellence.
