This spectacular brooch embodies the rich tradition of Bohemian garnet jewelry, sourced from the region of Bohemia, now part of the Czech Republic. Made in a distinctly Victorian style, the brooch features a stunning array of garnets, pavé-set to form a beautiful, lifelike leaf motif. Each of the tiny garnets shimmers with a deep red hue that shifts from crimson to dark ruby, reminiscent of autumn leaves at their most vibrant. This piece is a testament to the remarkable craftsmanship of the era, with each garnet carefully cut and set to maximize its glow.
The brooch is marked "15" on the reverse, which appears similar to the typical mark for 15-carat gold, though the brooch itself seems to be made of silver. Measuring 35.2 mm north to south and 47.7 mm long, this Bohemian beauty weighs 10.8 grams. It dates to around 1880 and captures the grandeur and romance of the late 19th century.
Whether pinned to a scarf, coat, or lapel, this brooch brings a touch of Victorian splendor to any ensemble. It invites you to carry a piece of history, celebrating the enduring beauty of nature and the art of fine jewelry, destined to be admired and cherished for generations to come. less
