About the Item

A beautiful vintage ruby and diamond kookaburra brooch set in 18k yellow gold. The main body of the bird is composed of a sizeable pear-shaped cabochon ruby. The rest of the bird is made of various yellow gold components with 25 small round brilliant-cut diamond details, with the eye set with a small round brilliant-cut emerald. The shape of the ruby gives the bird a fuller appearance. The colour and contrast against the yellow gold make it stand out nicely when wearing. The brooch is secured to reverse with a pin and roller clap fitting. Due to the design and the vibrancy of the ruby in the piece, it beautifully stands out when worn on either a jumper, jacket or shirt. A perfect gift for a bird lover! The ruby measures approximately 1 centimetre in length and 0.7 centimetres in width. The estimated total weight of the diamonds is 0.27 carats, ranging from G-H in colour with VVS clarity. For size reference, the brooch measures approximately 2.9 in length and 1.8 centimetres in width, with a gross weight of 6 grams. The brooch is hallmarked 750 (for 18k gold), London, O (for 1988). Lastly, a valuation for insurance and authenticity will accompany this piece.
