A pear-shaped garnet pendant composed of foiled stones from Perpignan, arranged in a closed-back setting around a central drop. The stones are backed with foil to deepen their colour and return light, creating a surface that shifts subtly with movement. Garnets of this type were particularly valued prior to the widespread use of Bohemian material later in the 19th century. The setting remains intact, preserving the variation of tone across the piece. A well-preserved example.
