Antique Victorian 14K Gold Sterling Garnet Cluster Pearl Dangle Brooch JR2187

Striking antique mixed-metal brooch featuring four dimensional flower clusters densely set with deep red faceted garnets, paired with two richly textured 14K yellow gold domes. Four articulated drops add movement: two garnet flower drops and two round gold drops centered with seed pearls. The combination of garnet clusters, granulated/textured gold work, articulated drops, and mixed gold-and-silver construction is characteristic of late 19th-century European revival jewelry. Comparable period Austro-Hungarian and Victorian garnet-and-pearl brooches commonly use silver or silver-gilt gem settings with gold details. Etsy
