A spectacular Victorian diamond bow with all the romance and movement of a beautifully tied ribbon. Dating to circa 1880, the sculptural design is set throughout with 81 old-cut diamonds totaling approximately 4.00 carats, graduating in size across sweeping loops and softly curling ribbon ends.
The diamonds are set in traditional cut-down silver collets over 9K gold, a quintessential Victorian construction designed to allow the diamonds to take center stage. The open-backed settings add light and life to the stones, while the varied old cuts give the piece the unmistakable character and sparkle that only antique diamonds possess.
Substantial at 6 cm across and 14 grams, this is a true statement jewel—dramatic enough to transform a lapel or evening dress, yet timeless in its bow motif.
