Antique Victorian 3Ct Almandine Garnet Brooch Locket 9Ct Gold Circa 1880

Details

This wonderful Antique Victorian brooch has been modelled in 9ct Yellow Gold. It is set with an array of stunning Almandine Garnets which have a lovely purple hue and weigh approx. 3ct in total. The brooch also features wonderful engravings of forget me not flowers and a window on the back which currently houses a photograph of a gentleman in period dress. This photograph can be removed to be replaced with another.

Forget me nots in an old German tale were discovered by two lovers walking by a river one day. After picking a beautiful bouquet of blue flowers for his loved one the poor gentleman sadly fell in the river and was swept away but before he vanished he yelled out ‘Forget-me-not!’ giving the flowers their name and a long lasting symbolism of love and remembrance.

A stunning brooch which comes with a secure catch to hold it securely in place.
