Victorian Dramatic Cabochon Garnet Festoon Necklace

About the Item

A spectacular garnet necklace from the Victorian (ca1880) era! This stunning piece is crafted in 14kt yellow gold and features six garnet cabochons hanging in a festoon style. The deep reddish-purple garnets are particularly large in size and rest in open back settings connected by multiple chains, balancing the necklace's femininity with a bold statement. The stones' natural color is enhanced by the open setting, pairing perfectly against the rich gold background. The necklace fastens securely in the back with a delicately engraved barrel clasp. The festoon style piece rests beautifully at the neckline, and would be a fantastic addition to any Victorian collection! The necklace measures approximately 15" in total length. The largest garnet measures approximately 1 1/4" tall, nearly 1" wide, and 3/8" deep including the bezel setting. The remaining garnets measure approximately 5/8" by 5/8" and an average of 3/8" deep. The central drop measures 3 1/2 inches long.
