For centuries, the seductive red 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 necklace shows how popular garnet jewelry still was at the beginning of the 20th century. The design presents a large, sculpturally designed flower as a pendant on a delicate chain made up of small flowers of seven garnets each. The center is domed, the petals swing forward. Fiery rose-cut garnets, carefully set in different sizes, give the piece a lively sparkle. They are set in gold-plated tombac, with the metal barely visible on the front. As a special highlight of the necklace, the flower can be removed and worn separately as a brooch! In this respect, the necklace is very much in keeping with the taste of the early 20th century, when such changeable pieces of jewellery were all the rage. We have attached a page from the catalogue of the Todt company in Pforzheim from 1914, which shows that garnet jewelry was still popular well into the 20th century. See especially the flower-shaped brooch at the bottom left. Our necklace must have been made in the early years after 1900. A wonderful eye-catcher that can still be worn with many different outfits today.
