Bohemian pyrope garnets experienced a real heyday in the 19th century. The form of garnet jewelry that we most often associate with this stone today - stars and flowers consisting of countless garnets set close together - developed at this time. Later, the aesthetics of densely set garnets were retained, but the shapes followed the current fashion. This antique locket from around 1870, which can be worn as a pendant with a large loop, is richly set with Bohemian garnets. It is shaped like an oval flower and has three tiers. The garnets are Bohemian in the classic rose cut. The opening of the large movable loop is large enough for a thicker chain, a velvet ribbon or a cord. A photograph, a lock of hair or a folded letter can be safely stored in a large, glazed compartment on the back. We have added a matching gold chain to the piece.
