Description

An absolutely gorgeous antique Georgian 10K rose gold round, oval and pear cut almandine garnet festoon necklace, dating to circa 1820. In the early 1800's jewelry was made to catch candlelight and this exquisite necklace consists of many beautiful glowing deep ruby red faceted foil-backed almandine garnets with three flowers created with large and small round cut garnets, the chains made with oval garnets and a lovely pear cut garnet completes the dropping pendant. The garnets have the most superbly intense deep ruby red color which glow and sparkle even when in low level light. The garnets are set in solid 10K rose gold closed back settings and the necklace has a well matched replaced 9K push in garnet clasp.

The box has a little wear, the latch closes securely with a solid click. Thanks for looking and please take a look at my other items!

Terms of Sale
TERMS OF SALE & RETURNS
We make great efforts to honestly and accurately describe each item we list. We back this up with many photographs, all with a close-up zoom option for detailed inspection. Due to the majority of our items being antique/vintage and often unique it can be difficult to determine age and as such all our items are sold 'as is'. However, if we are not certain about the age of an item we will either not mention an age or say the item is being sold as a later or modern piece and then leave it up to more experienced buyers to determine the exact age. Items are not returnable if it was not of the age/value you were hoping it to be with no exceptions. If we place a date on an item we guarantee it to be of that period or earlier. If you require further pictures or more information about an item, please let us know prior to bidding or purchase. Items cannot be returned for any condition issues either shown in the pictures or mentioned in the listing. As many items we sell are one hundred years or older we will not accept returns for wear consistent with the item's age. Any item mentioned as sold 'as is' in the listing will not be eligible for any form of return or refund. If it is determined an item is eligible for a return, the item must be shipped back within 48 hours, insured and tracked. A restocking fee may apply. We are very easy to work with and welcome any and many questions during our listings, so please let us know if you have one! Thanks again for looking!
