Victorian Garnet Demi in Original Leather BoxI am thrilled to offer this rare Victorian set. Garnet pieces were very fashionable between 1880-90s. Finding a complete set is rare, and in its original leather box is even more so. This box is also in very good condition, and still has it's original lining. It looks like the owner was partial toward the bracelet, as the gold gilt shows wear. The hinge and clasp are in good working order and there is also a safety chain present. The heart shaped screw back earrings and pin are in excellent condition with no wear. Such pins were almost always less than two inches, and this one is exactly one inch. If you care to see more photos, please contact me. These garnet pieces were normally made of gold over brass, or gilted silver. This bracelet holds a row of garnets in a bezel frame, with prongs inside. There is a tiny section (two garnets long) on the outside top rim that shows wear to the finish. It looks black, which may indicate a silver base, but the two tiers of added center work are held in place by two brass pins. So I can make no claims one way or the other, and it doesn't affect the value either way. The set holds a book value of $1800. Shipping on this item is more than usual due to the size box it will require.
