Gorgeous Garnet Double Row Necklace on Sterling Silver Clasp set with Marcasite
Consisting of a double string of antique barrel-cut garnets and a lovely antique sterling silver push-lock clasp set with 3 rose-cut marcasite stones. These garnets are a rich plummy red and extremely sparkly, the large facets of the gorgeous barrel beads catching the light superbly. They glitter darkly in lower light (see vid), while in brighter light they show rich pinks through to a fantastic clear red, and really are very beautiful. Strung on subtly graduated lengths of red silk and not knotted, they have a supple feel in the hand and settle with a pleasant weight at the base of the neck. The beads are a really striking shape, being faceted double octagons, which are very eye-catching, and a change from the more usual round faceted beads. The antique silver clasp is a lovely complement to the stones, beautiful old silver, tastefully set with three small marcasites it fits sleekly with the garnets to complete this wonderful necklace in style.
Please examine the pics to see exact condition detail. The video shows the garnets in lowish light...they look fantastic in the evening.
