Antique 1890s Bohemian Garnet and Gilt Large Statement Crown Brooch & Pendant

Enhance your style with this remarkable Bohemian garnet crown brooch and pendant from the 1890s. Featuring a dazzling array of 123 rose-cut pyrope garnets, each carefully prong-set in gilt, this piece radiates timeless elegance. The pave-set garnets shimmer and gleam beautifully when touched by sunlight, creating an enchanting allure. When paired with black fabric, this antique brooch becomes even more striking, making it a truly eye-catching accessory.

Bohemian garnets originated from the hills of Bohemia in Czechoslovakia and were highly popular among the European upper class from the 1820s to the 1920s. To learn more about Bohemian garnets, check out our blog post here.

The piece is in very good antique condition. There are a few small chips and nicks visible under magnification. One small garnet is lightly saturated in color, while another is cut very shallowly and has a very light hue. At first glance, it appears that nothing is missing, but there are no missing stones. There are no stamps or marks. The clasp and pinstem are replacements, and the bail flips up.

The piece measures 1-3/4" tall and 1-1/2" wide and weighs 9.31 grams. The box is for display only.
