Victorian Jewellery Sparkles at Auction

Highlights in the up and coming Antique and Modern jewellery auction in Birmingham next week include two rather distinct pieces of Victorian Jewellery.

Lot 24 is a late Victorian gold and silver mounted ornate diamond pendant with a guide price of £1500 to £2000, is in relatively good condition considering its age. An expert from Fellows & Sons auctioneers describes the jewellery as a circular design with an old European cut diamond, set in a central claw.

The second item, lot 265 pictured above, is a diamond and cultured pearl sunray design brooch, with a guide price of £780 to £1000. This has a central round cultured pearl bordered by eleven cut diamonds, leading to fifteen diamond set rays. The total diamond weight is estimated to be 3 carats.

There are another fifty-six Victorian jewellery items in the sale, plus hundreds of other pieces at the Birmingham auction. For more information visit www.fellows.co.uk
