Description

Empress Elisabeth of Austria and Hungary, affectionately known as Sisi, had a weakness for stars: the famous portrait by Franz Xaver Winterhalter shows her with numerous diamond stars in her hair. She would certainly also have been tempted by the sight of this beautiful brooch made of Bohemian garnet (a stone from one of the countries she ruled!). The antique brooch is designed in the shape of a multi-pronged star. The cut, dark red pyrope garnets are arranged in three tiers. Countless stones in the classic rose and table cut demonstrate the skill of Bohemia's gemstone cutters. The stones are set in tombac, a brass alloy typical of the period. Created in the c. 1900s and therefore more than 120 years old, this little star still attracts attention today. It came to us here in Berlin.
