A wonderful pair of late Georgian era, flat cut garnet pansy hoop earrings, created by our jeweller from a large antique brooch.
 
Each hoop holds a pansy charm of 6 flat cut garnets, with a little granulation detail in Gold at the bottom. With the lovely meaning taken from the french je pensee or to think, a pansy would be given to the wearer to mean 'think of me'. 
 
The Garnets are all in fantastic antique condition, held in closed back crimped collet settings and likely foiled to give their lovely glow.
 
Each hoop charm has an eyelet to the top, which has an internal diameter of 3mm.  The pansy charms are sold with the pair of hoops shown (which are a fantastic match) they are 8.5mm internal diameter and 11.5mm external, with a 2.4mm width. They are hinged at the bottom and easy to put on/close, secure clicker hoops. Marked 375 for 9ct Gold, the pair weighs 1.5g.
