Description
Victorian in style, this beautiful Bohemian garnet and gold wash choker sparkles on your neck. Eighty rose-cut garnets catch the light from every angle, drawing your eye to the elegant cluster design. Made in the 1960s in Czechoslovakia, these garnets have a reputation for an inner glow. The choker rides high on your neck, so you can wear this with most outfits, in a stack, or alone!
Bohemian garnets came from Bohemia’s hills in Czechoslovakia and were very popular with the European upper class from the 1820s to the 1920s. To learn more about Bohemian garnets, read our blog post here:

The necklace is in very good vintage condition with minimal signs of wear. The garnets are also in very good condition, but one is a glass replacement that glows brighter. The spring ring clasp is stamped 900 (90% silver) and G3 (Granat Turnov maker’s mark).
The necklace is 14-1/2″ long and 3/4″ wide and weighs 8.65 grams. The box is for display only.
I try to represent the item in the photographs and listing details accurately. Please note the measurements in the description, as images can often make the item appear more prominent than its actual size.
