$2,895
A gorgeous garnet locket & pendant from the Victorian (ca1880) era! This marvelous piece is crafted in 18kt yellow gold and is incredibly detailed. A rich, deep red garnet rests at the center, surrounded by a twisted rope wirework border. Inlaid into the surface of the garnet is an ensemble of delicate rose cut diamonds, which form a sparkling starburst motif. A row of foxtail fringe links dangle freely from the base in a graduated fashion, moving beautifully when worn. On the back of the piece is a large removable glass frame, perfect for storing a special photograph inside. Completing the design is a decorative fluted gold bail, which features pillar handles and delicate Etruscan beadwork accents. An exceptional antique piece, this stunning locket would look perfect worn on a favorite gold chain. It is certainly a must for the serious Victorian collector!

Measurements: The pendant hangs approximately 2 3/8" long, from the top of the bail to the base of the foxtail fringe. The piece has a 1" diameter and measures 3/8" thick at the center. Each dangling spear link measures 5/8" long. 

Condition: The overall condition of the pendant is excellent. Besides normal surface wear, there is no apparent damage to the gold setting or Etruscan details. The garnet and rose cut diamonds are intact and in good condition. The removable glass frame on the back of the piece is also intact and free of chips or scratches. The bail at the top is secure and its hinged top moves freely and easily.
