Description: Beautiful Victorian garnet frame containing a portrait miniature on porcelain.  The hand painted miniature is of a dapper gentleman and is rimmed with rose gold.  Portrait miniatures painted on porcelain are uncommon and very collectible. 

Miniature garnet frames are also hard to find.  The rose cut garnets on this frame have intense brilliance, color and fire.  The photos do not do this item justice!   

If desired, the portrait miniature can easily be removed.  Perhaps you have a picture of your own dapper gentleman you want to put in the frame!
