Antique Victorian Sterling Silver Rose Cut Garnet Seed Pearl Flower Brooch Pin

  
Richly colored, the "petals" of natural garnets in this Victorian brooch, sparkle brightly from rose-cut faceting across their surface. In the form of a flower this sterling silver piece is dotted with tiny seed pearls that echo the floral motif at the center. Petite in size, yet pleasantly chunky feeling due to its detail and large size of the stones, this antique brooch has a radiating red glow when it catches the light. This piece is fresh looking and must have been tucked away and well. Taken care of, the soft signs of wear are noticeable only on close inspection. The silver setting has a bright patina with very little surface wear and no dents or misshapen spots. The garnets have a bright sheen, there are no chips or surface wear and the faceting is crisp and refractive. The seed pearls are all in place with a light amount of surface wear. There are no irregularities to the setting or signs of solder or repair and the piece has a firm shape. Material Tests for sterling silver, natural garnets and seed pearls.
