Late Victorian Pearl and Old-Cut Diamond Trefoil Brooch Pendant

Three heart-shaped leaves form this antique trefoil, each framing a lustrous pearl. Old European-cut and old mine-cut diamonds trace the openwork leaves and curved stem, with a larger old-cut diamond at the center. Likely late Victorian, circa 1890–1900. The back has a brooch pin and a small loop so it can also be worn as a pendant.
