c1900 Bohemian Cut Garnet Locket with Garnet Set Chain in Tombak
c1900
Late Victorian antique necklace featuring an oval locket set with various sized Bohemian cut garnets. The front is three tiers of juicy red round and marquise cut garnets 1 1/4" top to bottom and 1 1/8" wide. There is a glass front door on the back. Glass intact and the door shuts tightly. Hinge is tight.
The chain is made of up flower shape links set with more garnets. The links are 5/16" wide. Finished with a garnet set hidden box claps. Tongue snaps in and holds. 14.75" length. Meant to be worn tightly below neck. Jeweler can add some jump rings to increase the length.
I can't find any missing garnets. Under magnification there is some wear to the surfaces but by eye it looks very good for being around 120 years old. The metal is most likely tombak which is a mixture of brass and copper.
Layaway available.
