Description
This remarkable Georgian gem from the 1800s is in such an exquisite form, of a dense and detailed flower set with some of the most stunningly lively pinky red flat-cut garnets I have ever come across. Such an impressive design-set in gold, most likely 9 to 10ct although could be a little higher. I do not wish to acid test in case I damage these remarkable stones. It has clearly been well cared for as it is in such beautiful condition, right down to the straightness of her long pin.
Seven large central foiled flat-cut garnets form a flower shape to the centre of the brooch and dozens of further, smaller foiled stones embellish the central design. The stones are all set very close to each other and the only tiny spaces are those slivers between the central 7 stones. It is a luxurious statement focussed completely on the vivacity of the foiled flat-cut stones. Hugely beautiful!
The light that is bounced around from these stones in movement is just fabulous- they are foiled for that extra special wow factor. The brooch has a diameter of approx 3.1cm, with the pin obviously extending past that point. All stones are in lovely condition, as said-she has been a cosseted jewel. I am happy to send her in the antique box she came to me in- it is a blue and gold, square, antique box, lined in silk and velvet, stamped with details of a Scottish jeweller. The brooch came to me in the box (they may be an original pairing) so I would like to keep them together. (The Garrard box is not included)
I will send by Special Delivery within the UK or else by International express courier. Thank you.
