Title:
Vintage Estate Pearl & Diamond Grape Cluster Brooch - Stamped 14K
Description:
Up for auction is a magnificent estate find: a vintage white gold pearl and diamond cluster brooch, weighing a substantial 13.23 grams total weight. This elegant Mid-Century style piece is exquisitely designed to mimic a sprawling, luxurious cluster of ripe grapes or a cornucopia floral motif.
The brooch features a cascade of creamy white, genuine pearls exhibiting an incredible, reflective high-luster shine and soft iridescent overtones. The pearls are beautifully contrasted by heavily detailed, structural white gold leaves intricately set with sparkling accent diamonds that catch the light beautifully.
Important Authenticity Note:
This vintage piece is physically stamped 14K and successfully passes standard jewelry acid testing. However, due to vintage alloy variances and historical solder, it may scan slightly below plumb on highly sensitive X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) spectrometers. We are listing the metal content based strictly on its physical hallmark and traditional bench tests.
Specifications & Details:
- Hallmark: Physically stamped "14K-1PS" on the reverse side structure.
- Total Weight: 13.23 Grams (Gross scale weight including all gold, pearls, and diamonds).
- Closure: Features a secure, traditional rolling C-clasp mechanism that operates smoothly and locks firmly.
Condition Notes:
This brooch is in excellent vintage condition with light, normal surface wear appropriate for its age. All pearls are securely peg-set and free from any major flaking or heavy scratching. The accent diamonds are intact, bright, and securely anchored.
