A Large Antique Victorian Carbuncle Garnet & Diamond Broach in 15ct Gold C 1850

19th century
Description

A superb and substantial mid-Victorian carbuncle garnet and diamond brooch, dating to the 1850s, crafted in rich 15ct gold and designed as a bold, sculptural flowerhead.

The brooch is centred with a bright old-cut diamond of approximately 0.35 carats, set within a raised star-shaped mount. Surrounding the centre are eight magnificent carbuncle garnets, each carved and highly polished, displaying exceptional depth of colour ranging from deep claret to glowing crimson in the light. Their domed, sculptural form gives the brooch remarkable presence and dimension.

Encircling the garnets is an ornate twisted rope-work gold border, adding texture and refinement, and demonstrating the high level of craftsmanship associated with the finest Victorian jewellery.

The reverse retains its original pin and safety catch fitting. The brooch remains in excellent antique condition and is ready to wear or add to a fine collection.

Carbuncle garnet brooches of this scale and quality are increasingly sought after and were among the most luxurious jewels of the Victorian period.

FAQs

A carbuncle garnet brooch features a polished cabochon-cut deep red garnet, a popular gemstone style during the mid-19th century that was frequently mounted in high-carat gold frame settings.

Mid-Victorian brooches frequently utilized 15ct or 18ct gold, cabochon garnets, old-cut diamonds, seed pearls, and intricate wirework or twisted rope borders.

Authentic Victorian garnet pieces often display closed-back or foil-backed bezel mountings, hand-cut cabochon stones, C-clasp closures, and period 15ct gold stamp hallmarks.

Antique brooches can be styled on tailored coat lapels, fastened to silk scarves, attached to velvet ribbons as chokers, or pinned to blazer collars as statement accents.

Clean antique jewellery gently using a soft microfibre cloth and store in a dry environment, avoiding submersion in liquid cleaners that may damage closed-back settings or foil backings.
