Questions
How can you tell if a diamond brooch is real?
A jeweller tests the stones with a thermal or multi-tester, which separates diamond from glass and paste. Old-cut diamonds have an open culet and broad flashes of colour, and paste stones show rounded facet edges and wear. Silver-topped gold is a good sign in a Victorian piece.
How do you wear a diamond brooch?
On a lapel, at the collar, on the shoulder of an evening dress or on a coat. Star and spray brooches with a pendant fitting can also hang from a chain or a ribbon.
How do you clean a diamond brooch?
For open-backed settings, use warm water, mild soap and a soft brush, then dry thoroughly. Closed-back and foiled settings must not be soaked. Ask a jeweller if you are unsure of the setting.
Can a diamond brooch be turned into a ring?
It is possible, but it means removing the stones and destroying the original piece. An antique brooch usually keeps more of its character and interest as it is, and many can be worn as pendants instead.
