Georgian Gold and Garnet Snowflake Pendant
About the Item
Glistening like a glass of fine burgundy held up to the light, this lovely Georgian pendant was made by setting the garnets in a setting with a closed back so that a sliver of foil could be placed in the cup under the garnet. This clever technique was used to attract all available daylight and candlelight at night. The cross resembles a snowflake. It has round, oval and square garnets which mixture gives the cross texture. The gold is 15 Kt the English Standard. It is a treasure in excellent condition despite its 200 year history. It was loved and cared for. The cross measures 1 3/4 inches high and I 1/2 inches wide. Easy to wear with pride. Beautiful to pass on as an heirloom of jewelry history.

Macklowe Gallery Curator's Notes: Queen Victoria, whom the artistic record shows owned a substantially similar demi-paure, was deeply interested in couture and jewelry. Often, she chose to wear jewelry by British makers, in many cases work that was historically inspired and/or sentimental, knowing that her choices were closely observed by the public. These jewels were often relatively modest in value, and accessible to aspiring women of the British middle class. Blood-red cabochon-cut gems have been known throughout history as "carbuncles", and their use in gold jewelry was highly popular in the sentimental, symbolism-loving Victorian period in England. In the 19th century, the new study of of archaeology had revealed that the garnet was a favorite precious stone of the Hellenistic Greeks, who centered carbuncles in wedding jewelry such as gold bracelets and garment appliqués fashioned...Category
