    • This dazzling antique rose cut diamond bird pendant dates from the early 19th century, circa 1800.

      The pendant is expertly handcrafted in gold and set with over 100 rose cut diamonds of varying sizes. It most likely represents a dove, the bird of peace.

      Amazingly, the wings are articulated allowing them to rotate and flap, so that the diamonds could glisten even more beautifully in candlelight. All of the diamonds are rubover set in closed-back and foiled settings, typical of the period.

      The solid pendant has been crafted in 15K gold, it has been attached to a later gilt anchor link chain. The necklace and pendant weighs 9.38 grams in total and measures 18” approx. The pendant measures 3cm x 2cm on its longest axes. The largest rose cut diamond has a diameter of 4mm. The pendant remains in great condition despite being over 200 years old. At some point in its history it was converted from a brooch to a pendant.

      The dove is highly symbolic in many cultures and faiths, widely recognised as a representation of peace, love, and fidelity.
