General Information:

  • Total Carat Weight: 13.88 ct
  • Precious Metal Weight: Approximately 2.25-2.50 dwt
  • Precious Metal Material: 10k rose gold with natural, deep patina
  • Dimensions: Overall, 23.56 mm long x 17.52 mm wide x 11.56 mm deep including pin
  • Weight: A very nicely weighted 5.52 grams
  • Markings: 10K
  • Era: Victorian or Victorian style; matches styles dating to the Gothic Revival years of the 1860s-1880s, though its construction techniques, design elements and fabrication match catalog references dating to between the 1890s and early years of the 1900s. Because this piece is stamped with 10K (“k” representing karat gold purity rather than the UK’s use of “ct” for the same purpose), and because of this closure type, we can estimate that the brooch dates to c.1900 and is American-made. However, without knowing an exact provenance, we cannot ascertain a more precise date range beyond what our years of collecting, dealing, learning and refining our expertise enables us to determine.
  • Buyer Notes: This piece is a wonderful example of late Victorian jewelry, and stands out on the market for the exquisite nature of the citrine’s color, carat weight, cut and clarity. Its mounting style is also unique, and adds both a fierceness and an elegance to the design. The piece shows areas of wear commensurate with the piece’s historic age and affectionate use, including tiny flea nibbles along the girdle in some areas which are not at all visible to the naked eye. As well, a soft “lightning bolt” shaped abrasion is present on the pavilion, which is the underside of the faceted stone. This imperfection is visible and is pictured, though is not apparent or noticeable when worn. The price has been set to represent its presence, as well as the unique Historic origins, and the superior beauty and make of the brooch’s design.

  • Center Stone Carat Weight: By formula, citrine is between 12.68 ct and 14.66 ct ; average professional estimation is 13.88 ct
  • Center Stone Shape: Oval Faceted cut
  • Center Stone Color: Warm Light to Medium Lemon
  • Center Stone Clarity: Transparent

The Story:

Crafted with beautiful attention to detail, this turn of the century brooch features a superb, large oval cut natural citrine gemstone. This citrine is remarkably transparent, showing a bright and vivid lemon yellow hue that refracts light in a charming display of clarity. This stone is free from inclusions, and boasts a bold golden hue that complements its setting and lighting conditions; the gem appears to deepen as the light dims, and likewise appears to lighten as the light brightens. Its body is a candied yellow, a drop of sunshine, glistening and luminous.

This hefty oval citrine is mounted within a 27 count claw prong setting, which was en vogue from the last quarter of the 19th century through the end of the Edwardian era, and was seen as strikingly handsome, a rather architectural and confident approach to stone-setting. Indeed, this halo of talons audaciously grip the citrine and draw the eye around the stone as well as to the ornate profile of the setting. When viewed from the sides, the claw prongs give way to a sweeping reticulation of rose gold latticing which was designed to recall the crowns worn by kings and queens of history. The rose gold of the setting revels in a highly desirable ultra patinaed finish, which the piece has organically accrued over its 120 or so year life, and is considered by collectors a supreme trait of antique jewelry.

This pin exhibits a closure system that assists in dating the piece: on the receiving end, the manual locking mechanism matches patents from around 1895 in Europe and later US patents from around 1910, give or take. Because this piece is stamped with 10K (“k” representing karat gold purity rather than the UK’s use of “ct” for the same purpose), and because of this closure type, we can estimate that the brooch dates to c.1900 and is American-made. Its clasp is relatively tight as-is, though like all antique jewelry, ought to be double checked by a bench jeweler before consistent, everyday wear. As well, it would make a wonderful conversion pendant, and is a perfect scale to wear around the neck.

By placing an order, you accept and agree to uphold all of Revival Fine Jewelry's terms, conditions and policies.

General Information: All additional jewelry boxes, ring boxes, and other jewelry items pictured alongside a featured listing are considered props, are for photographic and display purposes only and are not included in the transaction unless otherwise noted. Items do not come with physical documentation, appraisals, or certifications, unless explicitly stated in the item description and/or title. While jewelry is inspected upon procurement by the shop as well as prior to shipment, Revival Fine Jewelry cannot guarantee a warranty once items leave our inventory, given the delicate and individual nature of secondhand articles and the unaccountability of buyer handling post-purchase.

Shipping: All orders are carefully packed within a branded Revival Fine Jewelry gift box, secured with recycled materials when possible, and shipped within a discreet outer shipping parcel. All orders ship with tracking, insurance and signature confirmation. Shipping options are presented at checkout. Per law and inegrity, international orders are always marked as commodity imports and customers are responsible for any and all customs expenses, VAT taxes and import fees, as well as any clearance costs legally dictated by their respective destination countries. These expenses are not calculated into the pricing structure, and returns based on import costs will not be permitted.

Returns: While Revival Fine Jewelry aims to provide a smooth experience from start to finish, customers are encouraged to reach out regarding any issue or dissatisfaction, so that we may work together toward a resolution. If a return is desired, the shop must be notified of an intention to return within 3 days of confirmed delivery, and item(s) must be shipped back to the shop within 7 days of confirmed delivery. All materials (gift box, inserts, cards) must be returned with the item(s). Returns declared after the 3 day window and/or postmarked after 7 days of receipt will neither be accepted nor refunded. Customers are responsible for generating an insured return shipping label (international customers included) and relaying the tracking information to Revival Fine Jewelry. Returns that do not include full insurance and/or tracking, and are damaged or lost in transit, will not be refunded. If a return is accepted, customers will be refunded less the original cost of shipping, handling and insurance, the expense of any damages incurred, and a 10% restocking fee (of the original purchase price). All sale items, items altered or resized by the buyer post-purchase, and all storage/ boxes are considered final sale and are ineligible for a return or refund.

Sale Terms: Sale prices are only valid within the prescribed sale window, unless otherwise stated by Revival Fine Jewelry or agreed upon between Revival Fine Jewelry and a designated customer. To maintain business sustainability and general fairness, individual customers are not entitled to exclusive notification of, or owed access to, store sales antecedently. Orders processed prior to a promotion or sale, items placed on layaway prior to a sale, and payments paid through layaway prior to a sale will not be retroactively adjusted to reflect sale pricing or terms.

Specially Negotiated Deals: Items purchased at specially negotiated discounts, deals or prices through any platform between Revival Fine Jewelry and a designated customer are considered final sale, including rates arranged and agreed upon via Facebook, Instagram, email or any other method. Closing deals at special rates reflects a desire by both parties to reach an expeditious and absolute sale. The intention of specially negotiated discounts, deals or sale prices through any platform between Revival Fine Jewelry and a designated customer, is to eliminate extra expenses and/or use of time and resources to formally list or re-list items per their specific and inherent value-determining qualities, as well as avoid unseen overhead business costs, stocking obligations, and all other disclosed or undisclosed monetary and nonmonetary expenditures.

Pricing: Revival Fine Jewelry reserves the right to decrease, increase, alter and modify inventory pricing to meet market rarity, demand or value; to offset platform, transaction or seller's fees; to adapt to economic inflation and fluctuation; and to defray specific business expenses. Pricing is the sole discretion of every small business.

Regarding Brooches & Pins: Often significantly and curiously undervalued jewelry items, brooches, pins and stick pins are treasured pieces of history in this shop. Accordingly, their pricing is calculated analogous to other fine jewelry, including their symbolic meaning, rarity and historical prestige. Such pieces are typically converted to other forms of jewelry, and are therefore becoming increasingly rare in their original states. Aside from being perfectly wearable as sophisticated lapel ornaments, brooches and pins of all kinds are prime candidates for many kinds of fine jewelry conversions, including rings, earrings, pendants, and charms, if so desired by the consumer post-purchase. Revival Fine Jewelry does not perform conversion projects for customers.

Regarding Storage & Boxes: All specifications, including but not limited to the measurements, age, origins, and material compositions are supplied in good faith as professional estimations constructed using professional grade tools, years of learned and honed skills, educational resources and academic scholarship, and refined research methods. Regardless of our confidence in our descriptions and the photographs deemed viable extensions of these descriptions, we cannot guarantee the definitiveness, faultlessness, or exactitude beyond our knowledge and expertise. Kindly keep in mind that this and all items are sold as-is vintage, antique and estate secondhand wares, and consequently bear conditional wear in matter and operation commensurate with age and use.
