Victorian Garnet Twist Pendant
A beautiful pendant from the Victorian period, c1880s. It is made from solid 18ct gold, which is marked on the side of the jump bail and has the most wonderful twist border in the rich 18ct gold. At the centre is a stunning deep red cabochon garnet, which truly glows from within. To the back is a glass fronted locket with a pretty bevelled edge. The locket is tricky to remove and would need to handled by a goldsmith to do this. As it is, the beautiful garnet in the lovely gold rope border with its original bail makes a fabulous pendant.
The chain pictured is for display only.
