Antique Edwardian Platinum Pin of Diamonds & Natural Pearl, c. 1907
Edwardian pin with diamonds and a natural pearl, c 1907. With a frame of platinum and yellow gold (in the back), this is probably an American piece executed circa 1905 to 1910. It possesses 47 rose cut diamonds. The estimated diamond weight is .30 cts. In addition there are 10 old cut diamonds that are estimated to weigh 1 ct. The diamonds are approximately J/L in color and very slightly to slightly included. These stones surround a grey pearl of 6 mm., which is original to the piece and most likely, given the time period, natural salt water and natural color. The length of this pin is 2-13/16th inches and it's width varies from 1/16th of an inch at one end to 1/2 of an inch at the other end. This pin is in fine condition and weighs 7.5 grams. We have photographed this pin with another similar pin in our collection (sold separately and can also be seen here under brooches) to show how wonderfully they compliment each other.
Please note our model is a medium to large size.
