Description
This description was automatically translated from German. If you have any questions about this piece of jewellery, we will be happy to help!
This bracelet, dating from the late 19th century, is made entirely of sparkling red garnets. The piece of jewellery showcases the fiery gemstones in flower-shaped links, arranging them to create a striking overall design. A large garnet star forms the central focal point of the design. These are Bohemian garnets with a rose cut, which are shown to particular advantage here. The garnets are set in a copper-rich brass alloy that was very commonly used for garnet jewellery in the 19th and early 20th centuries; in this bracelet, it has been gold-plated. This material—which is both attractive and relatively affordable—is particularly characteristic of antique garnet jewellery. The bracelet, with its classic design and beautiful Bohemian garnets, is in wonderful condition and can still be worn to great effect today. A secure box clasp and a safety chain prevent it from getting lost, so it can be worn worry-free. A glance at the 1889 catalog of L. J. Flowers of Salem, Massachusetts—the “Busiest House in America”—reveals that Bohemian garnets were already being traded worldwide as early as the late 19th century. There, one finds a comparable bracelet that, like our piece, is composed of flower-shaped links with a large central garnet star. See here.
