For centuries, the seductive red garnets have been used in a wide variety of jewellery. Large, precious stones once adorned the colorful necklaces of the Baroque and Rococo periods. The form of garnet jewelry 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, elegant centerpiece on a delicate chain adorned with small groups of four sparkling garnets. A large flower is held up by curved arches, while sparkling pendulums with drop-shaped garnets are attached to the arrangement at the bottom. The 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. We have reproduced a page from the catalog of the Todt company in Pfrorzheim from 1914, which shows that this type of garnet jewelry was still popular well into the 20th century. The necklace shown here must have been made in the early years after 1900. A wonderful eye-catcher that can still be worn with many different outfits today.
