lapel brooch

This is an antique Edwardian 14k Yellow Gold Bohemian Garnets Pin Garnet made between 1910 and 1920. It is quite stunning having 16.9 carats of all natural mined, sparkling Bohemian Red Garnets. Tested and guaranteed solid 14K....not plated or filled. The HAND CRAFTING is superb. As you can see in the photo it is completely hand-made in multiple layers. The goldsmith work is even and exceptional as it was completed with extra supports in the 14K gold so it is very, very strong. Additionally, it has gorgeous pierced open work on the back for light flow underneath the stones. The back has a better quality pull out, push in clasp which is attached to a block of gold extending up from the back rather than being placed directly onto the flat gold back. The slanted photos show you the quality of the gold thickness. The front holds 16.9 carats of original, antique, deep fire red, Bohemian Garnets and all are well-matched in size and color. All are clean and brilliant with lots of internal glowing red color and plenty of sparkle. Weight is 17.3 grams. Size is 1 3/4" across. Having such superior antique crafting and being in excellent, original, never repaired condition makes this is a wonderful addition for your antique gold jewelry collection.
