The deep red of the garnets and the bright point of the diamond make for a classic Victorian colour combination that remains deeply appealing, and the quality of the engraved surround gives the piece a decorative richness that belies its modest scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe brooch conceals a locket compartment on the reverse, fitted with a glazed round window — a sentimental detail entirely in keeping with the jewellery culture of the period, when pieces were frequently made to hold a portrait miniature, lock of hair, or photograph. The locket back is intact and functional. A genuinely lovely dual-purpose antique brooch in good condition, with the added depth of its hidden compartment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMetal: 9ct yellow gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eHallmarks: Full Birmingham hallmarks, 1904\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eOrigin: Birmingham, UK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eEra: Edwardian, 1904\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eStones: Two garnets, one diamond, star\/gypsy settings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eDesign: Foliate bar brooch with central stone panel; locket back with glazed compartment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eDimensions: 46mm x 17mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eWeight: 3.63g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCondition: Good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"9ct Yellow Gold","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64944026026333,"sku":"SAO377","price":525.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0887\/0471\/3053\/files\/20-01-26-3127copy.jpg?v=1781692071","url":"https:\/\/www.spectrumantiques.com\/products\/antique-9ct-gold-garnet-and-diamond-locket-back-bar-brooch-birmingham-1904","provider":"Spectrum Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
