Victorian 1.50ct Opal, 0.72ct Diamond, 0.90ct Sapphire and Ruby, 9ct Yellow Gold Swan Brooch

A stunning, fine and impressive antique Victorian 1.50 carat opal, 0.72 carat diamond, 0.90 carat sapphire and 0.01 carat ruby, 9 carat yellow gold and silver set swan brooch; part of our Victorian estate jewelry collections

This stunning, fine and impressive antique Victorian brooch has been crafted in 9ct yellow gold with silver settings.

The bar brooch has been modelled in the form of a swan.

The body of the swan is embellished with an impressive yellow gold collet set 1.50ct cabochon cut opal.

The neck, wing and tail feathers of the bird are ornamented with twenty-three pavé set Dutch cut diamonds; these hand-cut stones contribute to the distinctly antique character of the piece.

The swan’s head incorporates a pavé set Old European round cut diamond to a single 0.01ct cabochon cut ruby, representing the eye.

The lower portion of the brooch bears sinuous intertwining designs creating the imagery of the water, ornamented with eleven further pavé set Dutch cut diamonds.

The yellow gold bar of the brooch terminates to either end with an individually claw set round faceted blue sapphire, totalling 0.90cts.

This brooch secures to the reverse with a hinged pin and C shaped clasp fastening.

This impressive antique bird brooch has been independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton XL2 Analyzer) and verified as 9 carat gold and silver.

This stunning opal brooch is supplied with an IDGL diamond and gemstone grading report card.

This Victorian gemstone swan brooch in gold is best suited to occasions that celebrate love, grace and meaningful personal milestones, combining elegant symbolism with the charm of antique craftsmanship. Swans have long been associated with devotion, loyalty, beauty and lifelong partnership, making this style of brooch particularly appropriate for anniversaries, romantic gifts, milestone birthdays or significant life celebrations.

This impressive bird brooch is excellent quality, set with an impressive opal displaying a fine play of colour and presence.

The impressive sapphires and ruby display a fine colour and brilliance.

The well colour matched diamonds display a fine white colour and brilliance.

This type of brooch/brooch has a classic antique appearance and as such cannot be brightened.

The brooch is an excellent gauge of silver and is in excellent condition.

I have dealt with AC silver on several occasions

I have dealt with AC silver on several occasions and always found Andrew extremely knowledgable and trustworthy. Nothing is too much trouble and I am absolutely delighted with my last purchase of a 5 stone diamond ring. From start to finish the process was extremely easy and everything catered for. It was a pleasure to del with Andrew and his most helpful and charming Assistant.

Excellent customer care.

I had to place the order over the phone as my internet was misbehaving. The lady who I spoke to could not have been more helpful and was particularly careful to get all the details correct. I was then informed about the collection and dispatch of the item purchased, by email. The item arrived as expected and it had been most well packed so that no harm could come to it. It was a delight to purchase this item from C6323, AC Silver, and I could not fault any aspect of their customer care. I was highly delighted with my silver mustard pot and it was much better than the pictures on the web site.
