Victorian Garnet and Diamond Pendant/ Brooch

About the Item

A Victorian garnet and diamond pendant/brooch, the heart shaped cabochon garnet surmounted by a floral and foliate spray, set throughout with rose-cut, old brilliant-cut and cushion cut-diamonds, to a delicately etched gold closed back setting with compartment for hair, all suspending a similarly set pear shaped cabochon garnet drop, circa 1840, measuring approximately 5.7 x 2.8cm, gross weight 14.4 grams. This antique brooch is in very good condition for its age. Unmarked, tested as silver and 14ct gold. A dramatic Victorian brooch. This brooch features two large cabochon garnets surrounded by floral motifs set with dazzling diamonds. The dark garnet provides a wonderful contrast to the diamonds and exemplifies the Victorian taste for bold jewellery. The back of this piece has a locket compartment for holding a lock of hair, a typical feature of Victorian jewellery. This piece comes from the collection of Bentley & Skinner, the London jewellers by appointment to both Her Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and would look stunning pinned to the shoulder of an evening gown or worn as a stunning pendant on a ribbon or chain. Should you choose to make this purchase we would be delighted to send it to you in a Bentley & Skinner handmade leather case packed in a gift-wrapped Bentley & Skinner black and gold presentation box. Shortly afterwards we will send you on a valuation for insurance purposes for your reference and safekeeping.
