Today, garnets from Bohemia are among the classic pieces of jewelry - but the dark red gemstone only began its grandiose triumphal march in jewelry fashion relatively late, namely in the second half of the 19th century. As a so-called "carbuncle stone", it was attributed numerous powers in the Middle Ages and appears in the literature of the time as the "Bohemian fire dragon" - which once again underlines its significant charge. This garnet piece is designed as a large, oval star. Dark red pyrope garnets of Bohemian origin are arranged close together on four levels. Larger and tiny stones in the historic rose cut demonstrate the skill of Bohemia's gemstone cutters and sparkle in competition with each other. The piece of jewelry was always worn with pleasure, as evidenced by several older restorations. The pin for wearing it as a brooch has been renewed, as have some of the garnets. There is also an eyelet on the back, which was originally used to attach the piece to a necklace.
