Antique 9ct Gold Rhodolite Garnet & Paste Stone Locket Brooch
Antique 9ct Gold Rhodolite Garnet & Paste Stone Locket Brooch – SKU E23926
A truly fascinating antique brooch combining vibrant gemstones, rich colour and hidden functionality in one beautiful piece.
Crafted in 9ct yellow gold, this elegant floral-inspired brooch features a striking cushion cut red paste stone at its centre, surrounded by ten rich raspberry-red rhodolite garnets arranged as flower petals. The deep red tones of the garnets contrast beautifully against the warm yellow gold setting, creating a dramatic and eye-catching design.
Adding to its charm, the centre stone mount opens at the back, creating a hidden compartment typical of many sentimental Victorian and Edwardian jewellery pieces. Such brooches were often worn as keepsakes and treasured family heirlooms, making this piece not only beautiful but historically intriguing.
This is a wonderful collector's piece and a stunning example of antique jewellery craftsmanship.
♻️ As with all of our jewellery, this is a beautiful pre-loved antique piece, giving exceptional craftsmanship and history a wonderful new life while supporting sustainable luxury fashion.
