Description
Victorian in style, this beautiful Bohemian garnet and gold wash choker sparkles on your neck. The 192 rose-cut pyrope garnets catch the light from every angle, drawing your eye to the elegant cluster design. Made in the 1970s in Czechoslovakia, these garnets have a reputation for an inner glow.
From the 1820s to the 1920s, Bohemian garnets from the hills of Bohemia in Czechoslovakia were very popular with the European upper class.

The necklace is in very good vintage condition with minimal signs of wear. The garnets are in very good condition; none are cracked or chipped, but some have tiny nicks on the facet junctions under magnification. None of the garnets wiggle and are secure in the mounting. The spring ring clasp is stamped 900 (90% silver) and G2 (Granat Turnov’s maker’s mark).
The necklace is 18″ long, the pendant is 1-1/4″ tall, 3/4″ wide, and weighs 20.16 grams. The box is for display only.
I try to represent the item accurately in the photographs and listing details. Please note the measurements in the description, as images can often make the item appear more prominent than its actual size.
