Glistening with luminous rose-cut Bohemian garnets, this breath-taking antique Victorian fringe collar necklace is the epitome of fiery elegance. Masterfully crafted in warm garnet gold, the design features interlocking floral rosettes cascading into tiers of articulated drops, culminating in a discreet garnet-set box clasp.
Bohemian garnet jewellery is prized for its abundance of rose-cut garnets, also known as pyrope crystals, originally sourced from the historic region of Bohemia, now part of the Czech Republic. Highly coveted throughout 19th-century Europe, these intense crimson stones became renowned for their captivating colour, symbolising passion and enduring love.
In excellent condition, this rare 16-inch Victorian necklace embodies historic romance and European artistry. An exceptional treasure for the discerning antique jewellery collector, it is equally captivating worn today - draped over an evening gown for a touch of timeless, regal glamour.
