Antique Garnet Pendant Necklace 9K Gold Art Nouveau Design - c.1900

We are delighted to offer this exquisite antique Art Nouveau garnet pendant necklace made c.1900. The pendant is made in 9ct antique gold and presents a wonderful antique rosy coloured backing. Featuring a naturalistic and lavalier design, the pendant comes to life upon wearing with the movement of the freely moving parts in full effect. What is particularly delightful is the colour and hue of the garnets. They have such a vivid and bright colour owing to its folied backing and the stones are well matched. Depending on the lighting, the garnets transition from a mystical dark red to a much brighter red with hints of magenta and pink fire. Furthermore, the intricacy and superb craftsmanship is evident in the very fine mounts and wirework which is not only a testament to the goldsmith's skill but also accentuates the garnets, allowing them to glisten in their best light. Elegant, tasteful and opulent, it would most certainly grace a blouse in the summer or on top of a jumper in the cooler seasons and is a lovely way to display your passion for fine antiques and exquisite jewellery, distinguished from contemporary pieces. A very special gift to a lucky individual or as an indulgent gift for yourself, bound to be a conversation starter, particularly for those with an eye for classical elegance. The pendant is marked 9kt on the reverse side of the bottom drop. Ready to wear out of the box: All of our pendants also include the photographed complimentary 9ct solid gold (modern) chain so that you can enjoy your newly acquired treasure straight out of the box.
