Description

This beautiful brooch is in the shape of an elongated star. Its surface is densely studded with cut pyrope garnets of exquisite quality, whose dark red still glows with incomparable depth. The stones are arranged in several layers, with large and small ones alternating and catching the light in their own unique way. The fine setting work emphasizes the characteristic cuts, the rose cut and the table cut, which intensify the glow of the stones. Garnets from Bohemia are among the most beautiful and traditional gemstones in Europe. Even in the Middle Ages, they were believed to have mysterious powers and were revered as "carbuncle stones", whose brilliance was able to illuminate the darkness. In old legends and chronicles, they appear as "Bohemian fire dragons", symbols of strength, passion and the mysterious glow of the inner self. This antique brooch is a testimony to the era in which Bohemian fire conquered Europe. Even today, it still carries the splendor of past festivals.
