Description
This unique Bohemian garnet necklace is crafted with 38 rose-cut pyrope garnets set into gold-washed silver. The cluster of garnets catches the sunlight and glows from within while contrasting nicely with the metal. Made in the 1960s, this gorgeous garnet necklace is an excellent piece for January babies or garnet lovers!
From the hills of Bohemia in Czechoslovakia, Bohemian garnets were very popular with the European upper class from the 1820s to the 1920s.

The necklace is in very good vintage condition with minor signs of wear. The garnets are also in very good condition, have no significant chips or cracks, and are secure in the mounting. Under magnification, the garnets exhibit tiny nicks on their facet junctions. The gold-washed metal shows minor signs of wear, with fine lines and marks but nothing noticeable. The piece is not stamped or marked. A GIA Graduate Gemologist tested the garnets.
The necklace measures 18″ in length, and the pendant is 1-3/4″ tall and 1″ wide and weighs 6.18 grams. The box is for display only.
