Perpignan garnets were found in the Alpine region of Perpignan, at the border of France and Spain. Only mined between the 17th and 20th centuries, they are less common than other varieties.
This gorgeous brooch boasts twelve foiled garnets in colet settings with a French locking mechanism clasp, all beautifully crafted in 18 karat yellow gold. A beautiful, romantic piece which will become the prize of your collection!
