Details
This fabulous antique Victorian Bohemian garnet dropper necklace has been meticulously handcrafted in traditional tombak, or garnet gold. It showcases hundreds of sumptuous rose-cut pyrope garnets, pavé-set into exquisite floral rosettes, radiant starbursts and dramatic chandelier drops, each catching the light with a mesmerising deep crimson fire.
Hailing from the historic gem-cutting workshops of Bohemia, this romantic collar necklace captures the sentimentality and opulence of the late 19th century. The Victorians revered garnets as enduring symbols of love, loyalty and passion. Draped elegantly across the collarbone, this magnificent piece evokes the romance of a bygone age of grandeur.
Preserved in excellent condition, it retains its original box clasp and is complemented by a later-added safety chain for added peace of mind. A breath-taking statement piece and a wearable work of art, this exceptional necklace is sure to captivate and enchant, bringing a touch of Victorian romance to any occasion.
