SALE Georgian or Victorian Foiled Garnet Pendant Gold Gilded

Jewelry : Antique : Fine : Georgian

 

Judging by the hook like bale, this pendant appears to have possibly been part of a larger corsage pendant brooch or stomacher. It features foil backed garnet colored stones. The top three stones are more purple in color and appear to have inclusions, which usually indicates genuine stones, but since I am not a gemologist I can't be sure. The stone on the upper left side has a chip on the inner edge. The bottom stone is burgundy in color and has a tiny chip on its right side, near the edge. The gilding is in very good condition. It is 1 1/8" long and 1" wide. The stones are setting which are domed on the underside. There are no hallmarks.
