Description: We always love seeing this design with these chunky, square claws holding a big juicy stone. They always look really modern and we don't know whether just one jeweller was making these or whether this style was just popular everywhere for a while - has a real space age, Dr Christopher Dresser feel! Anyway this is one of the nicest ones we've seen and it showcases an outrageous sparkly deep orange citrine.
Age: c1880 Victorian
Size and weight: 13.5g 4.4cm to top of bail x 2.5cm wide
Materials: High carat gold (testing 14-15ct range, awaiting X Ray testing) Large natural citrine, probably Scottish
Condition: Excellent. The stone has a large natural inclusion running form 5 o clock to 9 o clock - this didn't bother the jeweller and doesn't bother us either, its actually rather col and shows its a natural product.
