Description

For centuries, the seductive red-glowing garnets have been used in a wide variety of jewellery. Large, precious stones once adorned the colourful necklaces of the Baroque and Rococo periods. The form of garnet jewellery that we most associate with this stone today - stars and flowers, densely studded with countless garnets - developed in the middle of the 19th century and quickly became a public favorite. This brooch, created in the last years of the 19th centuzry, presents a large flower in the center, which is combined with sweeping elements to form an elongated shape. Numerous fiery rose-cut garnets, carefully set in different sizes, give the piece a lively sparkle. They are set in gold-plated tombac, which is barely visible on the front and thus emphasizes the full effect of the stones. The result is a wonderful eye-catcher that can still be worn with many different outfits today.
