STUNNING Victorian Era Sapphire and Diamond Brooch w/video

[j.d. in the usa]

This is turning out to be one of the greatest metal detecting finds I have made... treasure is where you find it this one just happens to be stunningly spectacular... if you watch the video when I found it it was so covered in dirt .. I knew it was a good piece just not how good.. an incredibly beautiful Victorian Era 1880’s or so Sapphire and Diamond brooch.. diamonds and sapphires have been authenticated by local jeweler.. the rim is very ornate sterling silver


All it’s found and taken with permission from owners of the property.

Wow that is a nice find. And luckily it's only missing the one sapphire on the front side. Congratulations on an excellent save.

Sadly it’s missing 2 sapphires now ... thought I would try to clean it better and was cleaning it over a sink with running water and I lost one more sapphire ... I spent hours looking for it.. to no avail ...lesson learned again on mypart

That's beautiful J.D. ... Back in 2013, I found a ring that matches it.

Awesome ! I would Check the trap under the sink, I retrieved my wives diamond earring luckily that way---

Awesome find, since they are real precious stones, it'd be worth it to have a jeweler replace the lost stones. I assume it's just going to be a display piece in your collection, so replacing the stones isn't going to butt hurt any purists....

Also, banner nomination placed!
