DATE: Victorian, c.1900

A wonderful Victorian celestial brooch dating from the turn of the 20th century. This design would usually be referred to as a "starburst", but given the central hessonite garnet is carved as a heart cabochon I'm going with heartburst (and all the connotations that brings). It's set with natural pearls and crafted in 9 karat gold.
