About the Item

Victorian Old Mine Diamond silver and gold pin pendant, circa 1890s. The Victorian era, spanning from 1837 to 1901, is often characterized by its opulent aesthetics and intricate craftsmanship, particularly in the realm of jewelry. One notable example from this period is the Victorian old mine diamond silver and gold pin pendant, dating back to the 1890s. This piece exemplifies the unique aesthetic principles of the time, where artisans sought to create wearable art that reflected both personal sentiment and societal status. The use of old mine diamonds—characterized by their cushion cut and larger facets—indicates a preference for stones that exhibit a distinct brilliance compared to modern diamonds (Baker, 1998). Such gems were often set in silver or gold mounts adorned with elaborate designs, showcasing the technical prowess of jewelers during this epoch. Overall, the Victorian old mine diamond silver and gold pin pendant serves as a significant artifact representing both artistic expression and cultural values during its time. It invites contemporary viewers to appreciate not only its aesthetic qualities but also its historical context within jewelry making. And this pin/pendant comes in it's original box.
