Antique Georgian Flat Cut Garnet Seed Pearl Gold Lace Pin Brooch

18th century
Description

This stunning Antique flat cut Garnet and Pearl mourning pin dates to the early 1800's and is set in 9ct Gold.

The beautiful brooch features Natural Flat Cut Foil Back Garnets which were very popular during the Georgian era and are highly collectable today.

Inside the Garnet halo, there is a second halo of original natural seed Pearls surrounding a glass casing containing fine plaited hair. Hair was often used in jewellery during the Georgian and Victorian pieces as a sign of remembering a loved one.

The Garnets have a lovely play of colour with purples flashing through, and the Natural creamy Pearls complement them beautifully. Garnet is the birthstone for January and the stone that celebrates the 2nd anniversary of marriage.

This is a stunning piece which would make a great addition to any collection.

This Georgian gold lace pin brooch dates to the early 1800s. The cluster design incorporates deep red flat-cut foil-back garnets with purple flashes, surrounding a halo of natural seed pearls and a central glass compartment holding fine plaited hair. Additional visible details include pie-crust settings holding the garnets securely, the original metal pin mechanism at the reverse, and a rich navy blue velvet lining inside the hinged case which has a pale cream satin interior top and a small metal latch at the front. Measuring 2.4cm x 2.1cm, the piece sits against a dark backdrop inside its fitted antique presentation box. It functions as a historic wearable accessory or a decorative addition to an antique jewellery collection.

FAQs

Georgian garnet jewellery refers to pieces crafted during the reigns of King George I through King George IV (17141830), characterised by hand-cut flat garnets often set over coloured foil to enhance light reflection.

Georgian garnets were typically flat-cut and mounted in closed-back settings with foil backing, frequently framed by gold or gilded mounts alongside seed pearls or glass-covered hairwork panels.

Authentic pieces feature closed-back gold or silver mounts, hand-cut gemstones with slight irregularities, crimped rub-over settings, and original simple C-clasp pin fittings without modern safety catches.

An antique brooch can be pinned to a modern tailored blazer lapel, fastened at the collar of a buttoned shirt, or attached to a silk scarf as a focal point.

Foil-backed jewellery must be protected from contact with water and moisture to prevent oxidisation of the foil, and should be cleaned using only a dry, soft polishing cloth.
