These glowy garnets are pretty impossible to photograph, so you'll have to trust me that they are bright and vitreous. 
These gorgeous pears, along with the accompanying tiny rose cut diamonds were originally part of a hat pin dating to around 1850. 
We have converted them to make stud earrings, adding recycled 9ct gold posts and butterflies.
