Large Victorian Gold Garnet Etruscan Revival Locket Brooch

19th century
For Sale by Corvidae Antique
Description

A beautiful nine-carat gold brooch in high Victorian style with tons of fantastic ornate details and an excellent quality shimmering magenta almandine garnet. The back has a glassed-in panel of tightly woven hair - in theory this is removable if you want to put your own special photo or keepsake inside but it's not something we've attempted.

Around 1880 many gold treasures dating back to the ancient Etruscan era (700-300 BC) were being discovered in Italian tombs, leading to the emergence of the Etruscan Revival as Victorian jewellers sought to recreate the style. Craftsmen employed considerable skill to make finely detailed pieces using multiple gold working techniques such as granulation, cannetille and filigree and typically employing high-carat gold and semi-precious stones.

SIZE: 4.3 x 3.6cm.

WEIGHT: 12.8g.

MATERIALS: Garnet, gold, glass, hair.

HALLMARKS/STAMPS: None. Tests as nine-carat gold (not plated/gilt).

CONDITION: Excellent antique condition.

ERA: Victorian (c.late 19th century).

Declaration

Corvidae Antique has dated this Victorian Garnet Gold Brooch to the Victorian era.

FAQs

Etruscan Revival jewellery, popularised during the mid-Victorian period, draws design inspiration from classical archaeological discoveries and features detailed gold metalwork, filigree, beadwork, and Classical motifs.

Victorian garnet brooches were commonly crafted from yellow gold, low-carat gold alloys, or pinchbeck, frequently mounting almandine or pyrope garnets with foil backings to deepen the stone colour.

Authentic pieces feature period-appropriate construction elements such as elongated C-clasps, tubed hinges, hand-applied wirework detailing, and soft wear marks consistent with 19th-century metalworking techniques.

A statement Victorian brooch can be fastened to the lapel of a tailored jacket, attached to the collar of a button-down shirt, or pinned to a silk neck scarf to serve as a focal point.

Clean gently with a dry microfibre cloth; avoid immersing in water or liquid solvents, as moisture can compromise internal locket compartments or deteriorate foil backings beneath garnets.
