Garnet jewelry is a world of its own. For centuries, the seductive, glowing red stone has been used for a wide variety of jewellery. Large, precious stones, for example, adorned the colorful necklaces of the Baroque and Rococo periods. It was not until the 19th century, however, that the form of garnet jewelry that we most often associate with this stone today developed: Stars and flowers consisting of countless garnets set close together. This is one such garnet necklace from the late 19th century: We see a series of blossoms, which stagger in size towards the center of the design. Every part of the surface of the necklace glows in the dark red of the multi-faceted stones. What is unusual about this necklace is the size of the middle garnets, which sparkle as particularly tall, faceted roses in the middle of two wreaths of smaller garnets. Especially in the evening, in warm candlelight, these stones unfold their unique life of their own. Their settings take a back seat and almost only allow the shine of the garnets to be visible. The necklace was created around 1880 and is in good condition; it came to us from central Germany.
