If you love to dazzle, but diamonds aren't really your thing, then allow us to introduce you to the next best thing: Bohemian garnets!
These crimson hued beauties hail from the region of Bohemia (which later became Czechoslovakia), and were all the rage in the Victorian era through the early 20th century.
Clustered together in pave settings to avoid seeing any traces of metal, Bohemian garnets were often rose or flat cut to add varying tones and rich dimension as well as to make them sparkle in any lighting situation.
This stunning piece is encrusted with hundreds of flat cut Bohemian garnets in varying sizes and is composed of a chain of cruciform links. The dramatic centerpiece of floral dangles is guaranteed to turn heads! The garnet encrusted box clasp detailing shows just how much thought and care went into creating this piece.
Necklace is set in jeweler's brass, which is also referred to as garnet gold because of its popular use in Bohemian garnet jewelry of the era.
