{"product_id":"english-victorian-garnet-cabochon-and-pearl-locket","title":"English Victorian Garnet Cabochon and Pearl Locket","description":"Pliny the Elder, the Roman author, naturalist, philosopher, \u003cem\u003eand \u003c\/em\u003enaval and army commander, had a penchant for naming things. He called any red gemstone with a \"brilliancy like fire\" a carbuncle. During the 19th century, the term came to refer to cabochon-cut red gemstones, primarily garnets. This impressive locket features a sizable, glowing 12.00 carat claret-colored cabochon garnet (hollow-cut so that the stone would not be dark) in a twisted wire-accented bezel. The luscious gem is accented all around by crescents of shimmering natural pearls, (three are replacement cultured pearls) while the reverse reveals an open-face photo compartment. Pliny would approve. Hand fabricated in 15ct. yellow gold, it suspends from a 17-inch 15K rosy-yellow gold box chain.","brand":"Lang Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53914426540360,"sku":"90-1-14879","price":4000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0969\/2122\/3496\/files\/english-victorian-garnet-cabochon-and-pearl-locket_3_90-1-14879.jpg?v=1787827323","url":"https:\/\/langantique.com\/products\/english-victorian-garnet-cabochon-and-pearl-locket","provider":"Lang Antique","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
