111Demantoid garnet, pavé diamond, ruby, gold and platinum goose brooch.  Demantoid garnets are a very rare gemstone, first discovered in the Ural mountains at the turn of the century and became a rage during the Edwardian era as the gemstone has the highest refractive index next to a diamond (demantoid literally means green diamond) and was perfect set in a pave manner to compliment pave set diamonds.  This goose is a wonderful example of this.
