This Georgian-era garnet brooch is rich with symbolism and mystery. Crafted around 1800, it features a striking arrow piercing a crowned witch's heart—a motif that speaks to the strength of protection and a love that endures despite challenges. The deep, glistening garnets are flat-cut in the classic Georgian style, their crimson glow adding an air of enchantment to the piece. Imagine it pinned elegantly on the lapel of a Victorian coat, an amulet of resilience and charm.
The brooch is made from 15-karat gold, and the arrow stretches across the heart with remarkable detail, measuring approximately 26 mm north to south and 55.3 mm across. It weighs 4.3 grams, making it both substantial yet delicate. The garnets, set in foil to enhance their color, create a vivid contrast against the warm golden hue of the brooch. The pin stem is brass.
A unique artifact from a bygone era, this brooch is more than a piece of jewelry—it's a token of timeless symbolism and the craftsmanship of Georgian artisans. It’s sure to inspire awe, whether worn as a powerful talisman or cherished as a collectible of historic beauty. less
