Victorian Garnet Carbuncle Cluster Brooch

This gorgeous piece showcases a glossy high domed garnet cabochon framed in a double halo of twinkling wine coloured crown rose-cut garnets. A splendidly gothic addition to any outfit! The garnets are set into "garnet gold" - a description used to describe a very low carat gold or gilded base metal typically used in Victorian garnet jewellery.
