(SOLD) Antique Fabulous Victorian Diamond and Gold Trident Brooch
(SOLD) Antique Fabulous Victorian Diamond and Gold Trident Brooch
Singular, Sensational.
We love jewelry in the shape of weaponry — think swords, arrows and guillotines — but never have we encountered a piece quite like this one!
The trident, of course, is a symbol of the power of Neptune, Roman god of the seas — and also the planet associated with the astrological sign Pisces. In Ancient Rome, gladiators wielded it in combat. To the East, the trident was the weapon of Shiva, Hindu god of destruction. In Hinduism, the three prongs have several meanings — including creation, preservation, and destruction or compassion, joy, and love.
Whether one looks to the West, the East, or to the stars for the significance of the trident, be certain this is a standout — set with 100 antique rose cut diamonds, on a statement making scale.
Unmarked.
14k gold (yellow, with a touch of rosiness), diamond.
Dimensions and weight:
● 11.5 cm long
● 23 mm wide
● 2.4 ctw diamond (antique rose cuts, I-J colors, VS-SI clarities)
● 12.6 grams
Period: Victorian
*Please note that all dimensions and weights are approximate. Age-commensurate wear may be present. The brooch fitting may be a replacement.
*For deliveries outside the continental U.S., please contact us for shipping information.
