This pendant takes us back to the late years of Queen Victoria's reign. The 19th century on the British Isles was characterized by great prosperity among the bourgeoisie, as the numerous overseas colonies had made the Empire rich. Jewelry studded with precious stones was popular, creating colorful accents. In addition to the new Art Nouveau trends, the late Victorian period also saw the creation of jewelry in the so-called Georgian Revival, which was reminiscent of the era of George IV. This pendant, which is set with twelve natural garnets, is also a variation on this style. The pendant itself is made of gold and is composed around an oval faceted garnet, which is lined with a wreath of pearls. The deep red gemstones are worked in historical facet cuts, which are known as "flat cut" or "table cut" due to their large panels. As a reminder of the era to which the pendant refers, the stones are set in closed settings that are backed with reflective silver foil on the inside - a technique that makes their shine and sparkle unmistakable to this day. The incident light penetrates the stones, is reflected by the foil and guided through the gemstones back to the viewer's eye. The pendant is in very good condition today and is a fine example of an English piece of jewelry in the Georgian Revival style. We have added a new gold chain to it.
