Seller's Description
Genuine Antique 8ct Gold Bohemian Garnet Bar Brooch
Hello there and welcome (kroeso) to my wee store.
I sell online in high-end shops and websites and pre-Covid used to attend trade fairs around the globe. I have a huge stock of "bargain basement" items which were great at fairs for inexpensive extras. I also have a massive stock of highly valuable and collectable items never seen before on the internet.
I find it heart-breaking that brooches such as this no longer seem to have the appeal they once did as they are one of the most versatile pieces of jewellery you could have.
A bar brooch like this could be worn on so many pieces of clothing providing an elegant statement or even as a unique hanger for your OBE (as shown).
ABOUT THIS BROOCH
Constructed from solid 8ct yellow gold (333 parts per 1000)
Fully assay marked 333 in Germany.
Dates to just after the First World War c1920s.
The style is classic Art Deco, of sturdy construction and all the gems are securely set.
Gemstones: Rose cut natural Bohemian garnets of a gorgeous deep red / purple.
Fastens with a gold hinged pin and roll over clasp - all in good order.
Condition is very good, especially considering its age.
8ct Gold first came into use after WWI when resources in Germany were scarce. Due to its historical significance it is highly collectable.
Length is 49mm.
Width is 9.2 mm.
It sits 9.5 mm proud.
Weight is 5 grams (rounded up to nearest)
You would expect to pay between £750 and £1,250 for a brooch like this at a fancy antique shop, depending on your ability to hunt down a bargain.
Fully insured and tracked postage MUST be purchased with this brooch.
CONDITION REPORT
Many of my brooches are VERY old and have some signs of this. I ensure they are fully operational and can be worn from arrival but I do not like polishing them to "as new" because I feel this detracts from their history. I will consider doing so, for a small fee, if you ask nicely ;-)
I guarantee all items to be as described and will accept a return on anything you are not happy with.
Please contact me directly via messaging should you wish to do this.
