Victorian Bohemian Garnet Cluster Brooch shipping Pin! Antique! January Birthstone!

This cranberry hued brooch is such a rich and gorgeous addition to any jewelry collection. Bohemian Garnets are highly sought after today: first popular during the Victorian era, when this little pin was created, they are said to symbolize love and friendship. This would also be a fab gift for a January birthday girl!

This cluster brooch measures about 29.7x29.7mm. I love the combination of flat and rose cut stones, and the heart shaped collets around the center. Lots of amazing detail! All the garnets are tested and are natural stones. The metal is a combination of silver and other base metals, gilded for the gold color.

Condition is lovely. No missing stones. The pin was replaced at some point and has a modern shipping barrel clasp. This beauty weighs 5.45 grams.
