We discovered this small, heart-shaped brooch, which can also be worn as a pendant, in the south of England. In its basic form, it follows the fashion of the years c. 1910 and shows a setting of small natural pearls, diamonds and two garnets on its structure composed of delicate knife-edged bars. Although these two garnets come from the same gemstone group, they have a completely different appearance. In the center of the piece of jewellery is a large, dark red garnet. The comparatively large stone is cut into an oval and faceted all around. It is the almandine variety of garnet. Almandines came to Great Britain from the Crown Colony of India in Victorian times and are still mined there today in beautiful qualities. The small green gemstone set at the top of the brooch also belongs to the garnet group. It is a demantoid, the rarest form of this gemstone group. Demantoids were first discovered in the Russian Ural Mountains in 1855 and were initially known as "Ural emeralds". Fabergé, for example, used them in numerous pieces for the Russian court, and they also enjoyed great popularity in Great Britain at the turn of the century. Here, the two visually very different garnets are combined in this small brooch, to which a large natural pearl is attached.
