*** 3e république ( Third republic ). Rare luxury model with 5 diamonds. With gold centerpieces. Hallmarks are not clear but according to this type of model, there is a great possibility that it has been created by the famous French jewelry family line of Louis Aucoc ( Louis Aucoc & Fils / George Aucoc ). We cannot confirm. The top is connected to a central diamond, the suspension ring has four diamonds presenting an overall V shape. That top part seems to have been repaired, re-welded. The period old cut diamonds authenticity has been confirmed by a Jeweler, although no certificate included. Very beautiful. Master work. That would be a great addition to your Legion of honour collection for sure.

Ungraded. Ribbon is UV negative ( Tested. ) ***
