Dark red garnets have been used in jewellery for centuries. As so-called "carbuncle stones", they were already attributed magical powers in the Middle Ages, and they appear in the literature of the time as "Bohemian fire dragons", which further underlines their mystical charge. This bracelet from around 1970 features three strands of faceted garnets. The glowing red gemstones are held in place by a large decorative clasp. This is made from silver and gold and is shaped like an oval flower. Fine rose-cut garnets adorn the front and vegetal engravings decorate the back. The piece of jewelry was hallmarked in the years after 1966 in the Dutch city of Gouda; we think it was created around 1970. Its design language clearly reveals a Dutch taste. Bracelets and necklaces made of garnet with elaborate decorative clasps were and are an integral part of many Dutch costumes. Thanks to its timeless shape, this beautiful garnet jewellery can also complement existing garnet jewellery pieces wonderfully.
