With 7.28 total carat weight of rich red garnets set in gold vermeil, this brooch is one for the ages and a splendid flower to adorn your lapel or scarf. Gold vermeil is a high-quality form of gold plating in which a thick layer of gold (this must be more than 2.5 microns and is usually between 14k – 22k gold) is coated over sterling silver, a process dating back to the mid-18th century. The brooch measures 1-1/4” across.
