Description
This description was automatically translated from German. If you have any questions about this piece of jewellery, we will be happy to help!
When we think of garnet jewellery, we often picture pieces of jewellery from the 19th century: Bohemian garnets set close together, forming a deep red, shimmering pavé. This pendant is just such a piece of jewellery. The unusually large pendant is shaped like a concentric oval, and its front is entirely set with sparkling garnets. The way the stones are set on the front is particularly labor-intensive—because the garnets used here are set in what’s known as a pavé setting, in which the stones are placed very close together so that hardly any of the base metal remains visible. The pavé technique is one of the more demanding techniques in the art of gem setting; it requires a great deal of dexterity to secure the gemstones firmly using only the tiny grains of the setting. The pendant features a large loop on the back, allowing it to be worn on a velvet ribbon or a sturdy cord.
