Antique Diamond Pendant with Blue Enamel, Navette Shape

This stunning antique diamond pendant in 15ct gold is topped with blue enamel and has a classic navette shape. From the 19th century (early Victorian), it has the beautiful craftsmanship that you would expect in a piece from this period.

The vivid blue of the Guilloche enamel provides a spectacular backdrop for 53 rose cut and old mine cut diamonds. 

Originally a brooch (see last image), we have carefully converted to a pendant.

It has all the bells and whistles, very good antique condition without chips to the enamel, plenty of sparkle, and the reverse contains a glazed compartment.
