Antique Victorian 18k Gold Garnet Cabochon Necklace, C.1840

About the Item

We are delighted to offer this magnificent 18k gold garnet necklace made in the early Victorian period c.1840. The necklace is made from high-carat gold (18K+ tested) and presents an exceptional ornate and regal design featuring multiple layers of scrolls, floral and foliate motifs and a two-tier lavalier design. Disintighishing itself from contemporary pieces the workmanship of the fine gold setting in combination with the two garnet cabochons is an absolute delight to see in person; a conversation starter and a gorgeous piece to wear. Owing to the round cabochons, the necklace is especially stunning under natural sunlight whereby the charm of the two slightly different hues of the garnets become apparent. The top garnet is of a slightly more orange tone whereas the bottom one is slightly pink. Furthermore, the curvature of the gem's surface creates wonderful reflections even in low lighting such as at late-night events, parties or even candlelight. Overall, this necklace presents an array of highly desirable traits that make for an excellent piece to make a distinguished and impressionable statement. Ideal with one-pieces, blouses or even in the winter on top of a turtleneck, a piece for the discerning and distinctly classic jewellery lover. Garnet is known to be the birthstone for January. The pendant is unmarked as is common with pieces of the period however we have tested it for 18K+ high-carat gold. The necklace is a later addition and tests as 9ct gold. All of our jewellery comes with a complimentary hard shell gift box with a velvet interior. Size & Total Weight Pendant: 4.5x2.3cm Chain Length: 45cm 7.5g /0.24 t oz Condition: Great antique condition with no issues/damage. Some slight tone changes/discolouration to the gold on the reverse side due to its antique age.

  • Antique Cameo Brooch Pendant Necklace 18K Gold - Victorian c.1860
    Located in London, GB
    Welcome to Artisan Antiques based in Mayfair, London - We are delighted to offer this magnificent large antique 18ct gold shell cameo brooch/pendant locket made c.1860, depicting a figurehead of Hera - a Greek mythological goddess of women, marriage and childbirth (also referred to as Juno by the Romans). Price negotiations may be possible under certain criteria, please contact us or search "Artisan Antiques" on your browser and we will be delighted to assist you further there. Its majestic presence, distinguished design and impressive size are immediately captivating even to the untrained eye and whilst undeniably attractive and delightful even at a quick glance, it is upon closer inspection that its true splendour and intricacy can be fully appreciated. The overall design features a whole array of wonderful embellishments and craftsmanship; a profusely decorated frame made from solid 18ct gold is accented with layers of applied gold ribbons/bows, beads and twist-rope borders. What is particularly noteworthy about this frame/border is the fact it has a concave 'doughnut' like shape that contours the cameo whilst also allowing for the spinning locket design to function flawlessly. Upon unfastening the rear pin, the central cameo spins around and presents a locket with a portrait of a gentleman and the fine mechanism and craftsmanship of the central piece can be further appreciated. The portrayal of Hera 'in profile' (side on) is simply splendid with crisp engravings, attractive proportions and an almost lifelike texture/facial expression in the manner of Renaissance sculptures. The reverse side of the brooch reveals a large pin for fastening on to a coat lapel or jumper with an additional later added safety chain. Further, the bail at the top allows for this piece to be worn as a magnificent pendant necklace. All of the combined factors make this cameo brooch a wonderful collectable piece of 19th-century antique jewellery history which would not only make for an excellent display piece but an inimitable and breathtaking brooch to wear on special occasions. Not only would the aesthetic be impressionable, but as a conversation starter, this brooch may serve as the perfect occasion to share your discerning historical/antiques passion...
