Vintage Garnet Ring with Diamond Dangle

I'm not certain that the garnets are genuine, and there is no mark on the gold.

16 deep red garnets (the bottom one is missing, see 1st and 4th photo) in a gold setting with a small dangling gold square with a diamond in the center. Lovely carved gold vine leaf draping one side. Three of the garnets are cracked, also not very noticeable. I can't find a metal mark but it's heavy. The gold work is lovely, has 2 tiers of tower-like tongs holding each stone. A romantic, Victorian/Deco flavored ring, but is it genuine?
