Revel in the opulent, deep red glow of the Bohemian garnets set in this beautiful brooch. The round piece of jewellery is in the shape of a six-petalled flower with a slight central curvature. The airy brooch presents the sparkling gemstones in tombac settings typical of the period. In the Middle Ages, dark red garnets were known as "carbuncle stones" and were charged with meaning. They stood for the glow of love and were carried as talismans. The origin of this word is Latin: "carbunculus" means small, sparkling or red glowing coal and refers to the shimmering red garnet, which unfolds its mysterious, deep color especially in sunlight. The brooch, made around 1890, is beautifully preserved - and a wonderful addition to any existing garnet jewelry.
