Regency Ruby Diamond Brooch

A lovely example of a regency brooch which has 2 clasps on the back, which are formed as a brooch fitting. It was probably part of a larger piece, or perhaps could have converted to a pendant. As it stands, one can still remove the brooch fitting and convert it into a slide for a collar. The design is typical for the period, 18ct75% pure gold (or 750 parts pure gold and 250 parts other metals) gold studded with rubies diamonds and naturalA natural stone is called such because it has not been subjected to any treatments.  pearls, in the original box (red Morocco leather with cream silk inside)
