This lovely pin is Georgian, circa 1820. It has a round shape which is more unusual for brooches of this genre. The flat cut garnets are all finely faceted around the perimeter and set in hand crimped rub over settings. Stones were set closed in the back during this time period, therefore closed to the light and foil was placed behind each garnet to reflect light.
