Edwardian 15ct Gold & Silver, Green Garnet & Diamond Pendant on Chain

177X/PR
40 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

An unusual 15ct gold pendant on a 15ct gold chain that was made circa 1900-1910.  It is in the Art Nouveau botanical style that was popular at the time and has been set with old mine cut diamonds and green garnets. Green garnets or Demantoid garnets as they are known, are wonderful stones that are a lovely apple green colour. Although garnets have been known since ancient times, the demantoid variety was not discovered until 1868 in Russia’s western central Ural Mountains. Miners were immediately stunned by the highly refractive nature of the gem material. They began comparing it to diamond and referred to it as “demantoid”, from the French “demant” meaning diamond. The reason is obvious, with its high brilliance and dispersion. These bright apple green stones are comparatively rare and very expensive.

In the Edwardian period these stones were particularly popular but only expensive pieces were set with them as in this example.
