A substantial Bohemian garnet pendant composed of closely set rose-cut garnets in a tiered starburst arrangement. The stones form a richly textured surface of near-black red, revealing flashes of claret and crimson as they move through the light.
By the late 19th century, Bohemia had become Europe’s principal centre for garnet jewellery production. Cluster settings such as this were designed to maximise colour and intensity, creating a dramatic effect that remains striking today.
Suspended from a 45cm silver chain.
Pendant measures approximately 3.5cm, or 4cm including the bale.
