9ct Gold
Antique Garnet Shield Earrings
Antique Garnet Shield Earrings
The shield is one of those shapes that has meant something for a very long time. Protection, strength, loyalty. These little antique shields have all of that going on, and then they went and set a deep red faceted garnet in a starburst at the centre of each one, which is exactly the right decision.
Starburst settings are always in demand, and these are an antique original rather than a modern piece chasing the trend. The points radiate out from the stone and pull every bit of light and colour from the garnet, that deep, lustrous, utterly delicious red that garnets do so well.
The construction is lovely throughout. Original shepherds hook wires, a neat gold ball separator, and the pendant hanging at a drop that moves beautifully without being impractical. On the back, stamped alongside the 9ct mark: REAL STONES. I find that very endearing.
Condition is excellent throughout with the gold having a rich and true yellow tone.
These are a fun and unusual addition to my collection, I was excited to find something I see very little of!

Please note
The expectation with antique and vintage jewellery is that there will be normal signs of wear commensurate with age eg. scuffs and patina. Lovers of antique and vintage jewellery usually value these things for giving their piece history and character.
I make every effort to clearly list any defects above usual wear, and to take clear photos that represent the item clearly.
The photos constitute part of the description and we ask you view them carefully before purchasing.
Instalment Payment Info
Instalment Payment Info
We offer a traditional layaway system – not a buy-now-pay-later setup like Klarna. You pay a 30% deposit now, then two more payments over 60 days. Your piece is safely reserved, and we’ll post it out once all payments are complete.
At Trash Lobster, we think this is a more ethical way to offer flexibility – no credit checks, no predatory lenders, just time to pay at your own pace.
Want to pay it off early? Just give us a shout and we’ll sort it.
