Perfect Petite Vintage Garnet Vermeil Pendant

Exquisite antique cross, set with glistening Bohemian garnets in vermeil. (Gilt over sterling silver)

Dimensions: 

Approx. 5.1cm by 2.5cm (excluding bail )

Why we love it:  

In beautiful condition, the garnets have great depth of colour and internal glow and the vermeil is untarnished. A truly beautiful pendant to adorn your existing chain. It would also look impossibly romantic hanging on a velvet choker. We just adore the rich deep red hues of these garnets, that shimmer like juicy pomegranate seeds.

The history of Bohemian Garnet Jewellery is infamous and it's no surprise when you see how glorious they are. Known for their encrusted close-set stones, often rose cut, bohemian garnets have been mined since the Middle Ages and gained immense popularity among European royalty, the Habsburg dynasty, and during the Victorian era.

Garnet is the birthstone for January and is thought to represent protection, passion and vitality.  

Comes in a beautiful black velvet pouch. 

Note:

All of our vintage pieces are in good working condition (unless noted otherwise) and show patina consistent with age, which adds to their beauty and character and is not considered a defect.  Painstakingly sourced (and sometimes fragile) they are not able to be returned due to change of mind.
