Early 19th Century Dutch Rose Cut Diamond Pendant

$1,500

Dating to the early 19th century, this diamond pendant was presumably a component of a larger and undoubtably ornate piece of jewelry. The rose cut macle and round diamonds are set in silver with crimped bezels and closed backs. The obverse is covered in a gold wash - a lovely finishing touch seen in Georgian era fine silver jewelry which prevented any tarnish on the silver from transferring to the wearers skin. Dutch hallmark.
