Antique Hand with Diamond Charm of 9ct Gold

A delicate antique charm dating to 1890–1900, designed as a finely sculpted gold hand gently holding a sparkling diamond between its fingertips. Hand motifs were especially popular in Victorian jewelry, often symbolizing affection, fidelity, guidance, or friendship, lending the piece both sentimental meaning and timeless charm.

The 9ct rose and yellow gold piece measures 0.8 inches from the top of the jump ring to the bottom and 0.2 inches wide, with a weight of 0.93 grams, offering a petite yet distinctive presence. It is presented in great antique condition; however, the collet set diamond is a later addition.

Gemstone identification has been confirmed using Raman spectroscopy, a non-destructive analytical technique that provides a precise chemical fingerprint to verify authenticity.

Metal authenticity has been professionally verified using XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis and traditional jeweler’s acid testing, confirming gold construction. A charming and highly collectible example of Victorian sentimental jewelry.
