(RESERVED) Antique French Statement Perpignan Garnet Convertible Pendant/Brooch
Currently reserved. Please feel free to email us if you would like us to notify you if this comes off the reserve.
Showstopping, Exceptional.
This boldly scaled Perpignan garnet beauty is a rare find of showstopping, vivid color and sparkle. A convertible pendant-brooch in the shape of a teardrop cluster, it centers on a large garnet, haloed by smaller stones, framed in gold, and bordered once more by a generous perimeter of round garnets. An articulated bail at the top and dangling garnet drops at the base allow for wonderful movement and light reflection.
The garnets are a delicious, intense pinkish-red, glowing with the shimmer of their foiled-back settings — the desirable berry color characteristic of older, antique Perpignan jewels. We are absolutely thrilled to add this to our growing offering of Perpignan garnet jewelry.
Suspend it from a period chain or a simple ribbon, or slip off the bail and wear it as a brooch on the lapel of a blazer. However you wear it, prepare for compliments coming your way!
Marked with French horse’s head (in use 1838-1919) in two areas.
18k gold, garnet.
Dimensions and weight:
● 70 mm long (including bail)
● 37 mm wide
● 6.4 mm deep (not including pin)
● 11 grams
Period: Victorian
*Please note that all dimensions and weights are approximate. Age-commensurate wear may be present. The gold is warm and rosy, in a hue that is characteristic of regional French jewels of this type.
*For deliveries outside of the continental U.S., please contact us for shipping information.
