Fine Victorian 15ct Gold Flat Cut Almandine Garnet Brooch, C 1860

19th century
Description

A beautiful Victorian 15ct gold almandine garnet brooch made circa 1860.

Crafted from solid 15ct gold (not marked but tested) it features 9 shimmering deep red/purply flat cut almandine garnets on its intricately decorated body which is folded into a relaxed wonderfully detailed knot. The gold surface has been chased and engraved with a foliate motif.

The Victorian era was full of symbolism, and this brooch once would have been not just a piece of jewellery but would have symbolised a loving bond, such as marriage and most likely was a gift of love.

Dimensions: 34?24 mm, 9 flat cut almandine garnets - 5?4 mm, total weight of the brooch 4.2 grams.

Condition: excellent condition, all stones are original and present, the old c-type clasp in good working order (the needle is not gold).

N.B. The listing is for the brooch only, all the other items in the photo are only used as props. The brooch will be sent to a prospective buyer in a new presentation box.

Declaration

Touch of Time Antiques has dated this Victorian Gold Garnet Brooch to the Victorian era.

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Victorian garnet brooches often featured deep red almandine or pyrope stones set in gold or gold casing, frequently incorporating symbolic motifs such as knots, ribbons, and foliate engraving.

Jewellers during the 19th century commonly set flat-cut or rose-cut garnets into 15ct or 18ct gold, pinchbeck, or gilded silver, often using closed-back foil settings to enhance colour density.

Authentic mid-Victorian gold brooches display specific metal fineness marks such as 15ct stamps, hand-engraved detailing, tube hinges, C-clasps, and extended steel or gold pinstems.

Antique brooches can be attached to lapels of structured blazers, fastened onto silk scarves, placed on collar tips, or pinned into hair accessories for a distinctive touch.

Clean gold garnet jewellery using a soft microfiber cloth, avoiding submersion in liquids or chemical cleaners which can damage foil-backed gemstones or antique metal finishes.
