Antique French 18K & Perpignan Garnet Brooch

Perpignan garnets were found in the Alpine region of Perpignan, at the border of France and Spain. Only mined between the 17th and 20th centuries, they are less common than other varieties. Sought after for their strawberry pink hue, they remain coveted by garnet lovers throughout the world.

Found on a recent trip to France, this opulent Perpignan garnet brooch has a central oval garnet flanked by eight round garnets, with two petite accents. Set in luscious 18 karat yellow gold with heart motifs, she sports the coveted French Eagle hallmark. A beautiful and important piece for any jewelry collection, you will fall in love the moment you see her!
