Vintage Mozambique Garnet Brooch

Description

This vintage garnet brooch is comprised of Mozambique garnets, 24 smaller stones and a large one in the middle.  This piece was reviewed by a jeweler who estimated the size of the stones: small are 1.5 carats each and the large one is 5 carats.  Additional information is that the brooch setting was put together prior to the stones being put into place as there are no signs of heat being applied once the stones were set.  According to the jeweler, if heat is applied near a garnet, it affects the color and clarity.  This piece was purchased over 40 years ago at an antique store and although I really enjoy it, did not have many opportunities to wear it; it is in excellent condition.
I have described the item as best I can.  Due to varying lighting and camera used, the colors may not be exactly as pictured and closeups are not the best.  If you need additional information, please ask before bidding.
