Substantial Victorian Cabochon Garnet Inlaid With  Diamond Star
 
Really gorgeous, juicy, large garnet, the shape of a pebble, inlaid at the centre front ith a six pointed star, pave set with fifteen old cut diamonds, the central largest diamond being a size .33
The garnet catches the light well and is a lovely jammy red colour.
 
The back is framed with a high carat gold border that holds a glass locket back which at the moment holds woven brunette hair but can be replaced with some silk, or your own small photo
The glass panel lifts out rather like a paint pot lid does. Glass window is 19mm x 12.5mm
The locket comes with a 9 carat fancy gold chain 20" long.
