Star set garnet charm

Victorian star set garnet 9ct gold charm on a 9ct gold bolt ring, both circa 1900

Here we have an extremely sweet garnet cabochon set in a gold button back, with an inlaid star to the front. The star is in silver and is set with a beautiful rose cut stone that does not not test as a diamond – let’s call it rock crystal. It was originally the centre piece of a bar brooch we have had professionally made into a charm, with a little gold loop and jump ring. We have paired it with a lovely Victorian 9ct rosy gold bolt ring, which we are sure you will agree, makes it look really special and gives it beautiful wear. If you would like to buy the charm without the bolt ring, please get in touch and we will adjust the price for you.
