Today, garnets from Bohemia are among the classics among pieces of jewellery - but the dark red gemstone only began its grandiose triumphal march in jewellery fashions relatively late, namely in the second half of the 19th century. The classic forms of garnet jewelry that we still know today date from this time: Stars, moons and flowers made of garnets set close together in pavé. This garnet piece is designed as a snowflake or star. Dark red pyrope garnets of Bohemian origin are arranged close together on four levels. Larger and tiny stones in the historic rose cut demonstrate the skill of Bohemia's gemstone cutters and sparkle in competition with each other. The stones are set in tombac, typical of the period. With a pin on the back, the piece can be worn as a brooch. Created around 1890 and therefore more than 140 years old, this little star is still a piece of jewellery that attracts attention today. For the dating, see a page from the catalog for the year 1889 by L. J. Flowers from Salem, Massachusetts, the Busiest House of America, see here.
