This stunning, fine and impressive antique brooch has been crafted in 22ct yellow gold.
The interlacing rosette style setting is embellished with a central circular cabochon cut turquoise, with eight collet set cabochon cut turquoises to the outer loop circumference.
This large piece of antique turquoise jewellery secures to the reverse with a hinged pin with clasp fastening.
This antique turquoise brooch has been independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton XL2 Analyzer) and verified as 22 carat gold; this indicates the high quality of the piece.
This impressive antique brooch is supplied with an IDGL gemstone grading report card.
This stunning antique brooch is fitted to the original hinged leatherette presentation box, with a satin and velvet lined interior, securing with a push fit catch.
The interior of the cover bears the renowned collectable English goldsmiths retailer's mark 'R&S Garrard & Co, Goldsmiths, Jewellers & c to the Queen, His Royal Highness Prince Albert & all the Royal Family, Panton Street, London'.
Such examples bearing larger, evenly colour matched turquoises are becoming increasingly difficult to locate.
A turquoise and gold brooch by Garrard is an elegant and meaningful gift, ideal for milestone birthdays such as the 18th, 21st, or 50th, as well as anniversaries and special occasions. The vibrant turquoise, symbolising protection and tranquillity, is a thoughtful choice for those with a connection to the gemstone, in addition to being the perfect December birthstone gift.
