This antique garnet pendant-brooch dates to the early Edwardian period and features a beautifully detailed openwork design in 9ct gold. It holds a central oval garnet framed by natural seed pearls, with further leaf motifs and tiny pearls throughout. A pear-shaped garnet drop adds movement and colour. The piece hangs from a later 18-inch chain in 9ct gold, creating a wearable and elegant finish. You can also wear the pendant as a brooch thanks to the original pin fitting on the reverse.

Design & Craftsmanship

The pendant shows classic late 19th to early 20th-century styling, with scrolls, foliate details, and soft curves. The garnets display a rich wine-red tone that contrasts well with the warm gold. Seed pearls sit neatly in milgrain-style settings that highlight the fine craftsmanship. The reverse includes an intact brooch pin and a clear 9ct stamp, confirming the metal. The chain is a later addition yet complements the pendant with its simple, lightweight links.

Styling Ideas

This piece works well as a statement necklace because the pendant has strong colour and graceful lines. The 18-inch chain places it perfectly on the neckline for layering or solo wear. You can also detach the chain and enjoy the pendant as a brooch, which makes it versatile for jackets, knits, and dresses. Wear with bridalwear to create an antique wedding aesthetic.

Why We Love This Piece

This antique garnet pendant-brooch offers strong antique character and practical versatility. The garnets add depth and colour, while the seed pearls give a refined finish. It feels well made, sits beautifully when worn, and has the kind of detail that suits both everyday styling and special occasions.
