This outstanding Antique Georgian Pansy Pendant features many foil-backed flat cut Garnets, modelled in Gold, dating to circa.1800.
This is a quality example of an antique Garnet piece with beautiful Collet set gemstones in closed-back settings.
The Garnets have a lovely play of colour, deep velvet red with flashes of bright red and purple shining through. Garnet is the birthstone for January and the stone that celebrates the 2nd anniversary of marriage.
This exquisite piece would make an excellent addition to any collection and is a superb investment.

CONDITION
This Georgian-era piece remains in wonderful condition for its age. The garnets are bright, and the Gold is smooth. All Pearls look original and secure, and the settings remain in good condition, too. Two of the petals have a tiny nibble to the edge, only seen when looking for it up close. One petal at the top near the ring has a small chip, too. For 220 years old, this piece is in great condition throughout!
