Sparkly Signed Vintage or Antique BastianBrothers Leafy Topped 14K Solid Yellow Gold & Creamy White 6.5mm Pearl Enhancer or Pendant set w/ Twenty Diamonds
Beautiful, Finely Crafted and Signed, Sparkly Vintage or Antique Bastian Brothers Leafy Topped 14K Solid Yellow Gold and White Pearl Enhancer or Pendant set with Twenty Diamonds. The bale is hinged to allow attachment to a strand of pearls or beads, as well as allowing it to be worn as a pendant on a chain.
The pendant/enhancer measures just over approximately 3/4 of an inch, or about 19.5 millimeters, high, by just under approximately 1/2 of an inch, or about 12.5 millimeters, wide, and just under about 3/8 of an inch, or roughly 9.5 millimeters, deep. The pearl itself measures just over approximately 1/4 of an inch, or roughly 6.5 millimeters, in diameter. There are 20 round diamonds, each measuring about 1/16 of an inch in diameter, or about 1.585 millimeters, for an estimated total carat weight of approximately .3 carats. The bale opening with the hinge closed is approximately 1/8 of an inch, or about 3.17 millimeters, wide. (Included please find a US Quarter in the photographs, for the measurement-challenged and ruler-averse.) The pendant is stamped on the back, "14K", and signed with the back-to-back letter B maker's mark of the Bastian Brothers company. It has been discreetly acid tested and shown to be 14K solid gold. The diamonds were tested with a Mizar DiamondNite. Weight is approximately 2.57 grams, which includes the pearl and diamonds weight, of course.
This pendant is in very nice vintage condition, but will likely exhibit the expected light surface scratches and possibly a few very tiny dings. Lightly cleaned by hand, but it has not been professionally polished. No missing or damaged diamonds and no visible damage to the pearl, just some natural surface irregularities.
A delightful, gorgeous and very luxurious, signed vintage or antique 14K gold diamond and pearl pendant/enhancer.Amazing craftsmanship and stunning quality. A very refined and lovely piece. So much nicer in person than the camera captured.
