The combination of richly coloured amethyst, bright white diamonds and beautifully white pearls creates an elegant and highly distinctive jewel characteristic of the Edwardian era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the centre is an impressive natural amethyst measuring approximately 23.1 × 17.4 × 12.4mm. The stone is generously proportioned and notably deep, with beautiful clarity and transparency. Its rich violet-purple colour changes subtly with the light, revealing brighter flashes of purple alongside deeper plum tones across its broad antique-style facets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBased on its dimensions and proportions, \u003cstrong\u003ethe amethyst is estimated to weigh approximately 25–27 carats\u003c\/strong\u003e. As the gemstone remains mounted in its original setting, this is an estimated rather than an exact carat weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSurrounding the amethyst are 10 natural Old European Cut diamonds, alternating with 10 natural wild pearls in a beautifully balanced radiating halo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe diamonds are particularly attractive: bright, white and beautifully transparent, with the broader facets and individual character associated with early European cutting. Measuring approximately 2.7–3.0mm each, their combined weight is estimated at approximately 0.80–0.90ct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBetween the diamonds are 10 natural wild pearls, approximately 3.2mm each. The pearls have a notably clean white colour with a fine, luminous natural lustre. Their soft pearly glow contrasts beautifully with the crisp brilliance of the diamonds and the saturated violet colour of the central amethyst.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eViewed from the side, the brooch reveals a finely constructed and wonderfully three-dimensional 18K gold setting. Each diamond and pearl is individually mounted around the central gemstone, while the amethyst is held within an open-backed setting, allowing light to pass through the stone and emphasise its clarity, depth and rich purple colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reverse retains its original long brooch pin fitting, and the piece remains in very good antique condition, with light signs of wear consistent with its age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParticularly desirable, the brooch is accompanied by its original antique jewellery box. The survival of the jewel together with its period box adds considerably to the completeness and collector appeal of this beautiful Edwardian piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeriod: Edwardian, c.1900–1910\u003cbr\u003eMetal: 18K Gold — professionally tested, unmarked\u003cbr\u003eGemstones: Natural Amethyst, Natural Old European Cut Diamonds \u0026amp; Natural Wild Pearls\u003cbr\u003eWeight: Approx. 11.47g\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: Approx. 2.9 × 2.5cm\u003cbr\u003eDepth: Approx. 1cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNatural Amethyst: Approx. 23.1 × 17.4 × 12.4mm\u003cbr\u003eEstimated Amethyst Weight: Approx. 25–27ct\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNatural Diamonds: 10 Old European Cut diamonds\u003cbr\u003eDiamond Size: Approx. 2.7–3.0mm each\u003cbr\u003eEstimated Total Diamond Weight: Approx. 0.80–0.90ct\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNatural Wild Pearls: 10\u003cbr\u003ePearl Size: Approx. 3.2mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSetting: Open-backed 18K gold setting\u003cbr\u003eFitting: Original antique brooch pin\u003cbr\u003eBox: Original antique jewellery box included\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very good antique condition, with light wear consistent with age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll gemstones and metal have been professionally tested.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e【📦 \u003cstrong\u003eWorldwide shipping from London, UK.\u003c\/strong\u003e】\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SHECH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48940185551037,"sku":null,"price":2750.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1405\/7422\/files\/20260922214740_2323_1.jpg?v=1790112141","url":"https:\/\/shech.com\/products\/edwardian-18k-gold-amethyst-old-european-cut-diamond-natural-pearl-antique-brooch-c-1900-1910","provider":"SHECH ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
