French 18ct Gold Perpignan Garnet Star Pendant c.1860

Sold

This exceptional Victorian Perpignan Garnet star pendant is a rare and mesmerising jewel, crafted in rich 18ct Gold and set with luminous foiled Garnets in the distinctive Perpignan style. Originating from the South of France and prized throughout the 19th century, Perpignan Garnets are known for their vivid, fiery colour created by masterful foiling techniques unique to the region.

The star design is bold, sculptural and beautifully symbolic, radiating warmth and intensity from every angle. The deep berry-red Garnets glow with internal light, and the central stone, with its rich saturated hue, anchors the entire composition. Elegant, striking and highly collectable, this is a true jewel of the Victorian era.

A rare opportunity to own an authentic Perpignan Garnet treasure, wonderfully preserved and full of historical charm.

VERY GOOD: The Garnets display excellent luminosity with beautifully preserved foils, showing only minimal age-related wear. There is a small crack to the very tip of one of the star’s points, but it does not go through and does not affect stability or wearability. The Gold settings are secure and well-formed. A superb antique piece in impressive condition for its age.
