.32 Antique Victorian Diamond Sword Brooch 14k

This Victorian sword brooch—historically known as a Jabot pin—is crafted in 14 karat yellow gold and measures 3.5 inches in length. The hilt features pearls alongside Old Mine and Old European cut diamonds totaling .32 carats, with the Old Mine being the largest stone. The diamonds fall in the G-H color range, meaning they appear nearly colorless to the naked eye with just the faintest warmth, and the SI1 clarity keeps them bright and lively.

Old Mine and Old European cuts were hand-cut in their era, so they have a chunkier, more romantic sparkle than modern precision cuts—they flash rather than glitter. The pearls soften the overall look and balance the diamond fire nicely. At 3.5 inches, this works well on a lapel, scarf, or even pinned at an angle on a blazer for a bit of Victorian drama.
