Flat-cut Garnet Sunburst Pendant

Georgian flat-cut garnet foiled sunburst c.1760.

English work of the mid c18th when the art of cut-down settings in silver and very fine thin garnets set over rose pink foils created the most delightful effect.

The design is reminiscent of a sunburst or spiky dahlia with a central cluster and long flame-like petals.

Condition excellent, near mint.

Likely part of a suite of garnet jewellery,

Later converted to a drop.

1.5 inch diameter.
