Vintage rough-cut garnet bracelet

Continental European
 
This interesting and unusual bracelet is made of four strands of rough cut garnets, joined together by a 14ct gold claps. The garnets are all facetted at different angles giving a wonderful texture.
The clasp, rather than being relegated to insignificance is incorporated into the design by being set with cut and polished garnets and small seed pearls. The fitting is thin gold bar that fits and clicks into a slot at the side of the claps. The clasp is fitted with a safety chain.
 
Condition: There is a small repair to one of the links on the clasp, this has been done with a non-gold metal. The garnets have some scratching from use and wear.
