This spectacular antique 18ct Yellow Gold star pendant/ brooch is Victorian Circa 1900.
The fabulous piece is adorned with bright red synthetic Rubies and a star burst of sparkling old cut Diamonds.
The Ruby is considered to be the most powerful gem of the universe, given as a gift, the Ruby is a symbol of friendship, love and loyalty.
The central Ruby alone is over 5ct with 15ct of Rubies in total across the piece.
With a gem tester the stones test as Ruby but we have sent these off to be tested at great lengths and they are actually synthetic but with a trained eye one would never know.
If these were natural untreated earth Rubies you would be looking at a price tag of approx. 50 thousand pounds!
The piece can be worn as a pendant or a brooch and is fitted with a sturdy pin as well as a loop.
This is a truly stunning antique piece that would look beautiful displayed on a chain or pinned to a lapel.
Weighs 11.4 grams.
Measures 28mm across x 28mm down - 36mm with loop.
Central Ruby measures 10mm across x 11mm down.
Excellent condition.
