Late 19th Century Pearl and Diamond Hair Piece & Brooch

£25,000.00

This rare and unique Victorian Pearl and Diamond Hair Piece exemplifies the elegance and innovation of the late 19th century. Transitioning seamlessly from a delicate hair comb to a stunning brooch, it showcases the remarkable craftsmanship and ingenuity of Victorian jewellers. Adorned with natural pearls and an array of diamonds in various cuts, including graduated old round cut, eight cut, and rose cut, totalling 7 carats, each gem is carefully selected for its brilliance and charm.

The intricate design, with its ornate patterns and natural pearls, hints at the possibility of transformation from a grander accessory, such as a tiara. This piece retains a sense of magnificence and opulence, further highlighted by the preservation of its original box. This suggests it was intentionally crafted in its current dual-purpose form, reflecting the high level of artistry and attention to detail characteristic of the Victorian era.
