Antique Bohemian Brooch Encrusted W/ Garnets & Central Cabochon in Gold Setting

Offered by: High Style Deco

Description
This stunning Bohemian brooch, crafted in Czechoslovakia circa 1880, is a remarkable example of the intricate craftsmanship and luxurious design characteristic of 19th-century Bohemian jewelry. Encrusted with deep red garnets, this piece embodies the romantic and opulent aesthetics of the Victorian era.

The brooch features a beautiful central garnet cabochon, which serves as the focal point of the design, perfectly complemented by an array of smaller, faceted garnets meticulously set throughout the piece. The rich crimson hues of the garnets create a striking visual impact, enhanced by the intricate layering of stones and the detailed craftsmanship.

The brooch is set in garnet gold, a hallmark of 19th-century Bohemian jewelry, which refers to a gilded metal or low-karat gold setting designed to enhance the brilliance of the garnets. This warm, golden finish beautifully contrasts with the rich tones of the garnets, creating a luxurious and timeless aesthetic.

This brooch would have been a prized accessory during its time, as Bohemian garnets were highly sought after for their fiery brilliance and association with wealth and status. Today, it stands as a cherished collectible, perfect for lovers of antique jewelry, Victorian-era design, or Bohemian craftsmanship.

Whether displayed as a centerpiece of a vintage jewelry collection or worn as a dramatic accent, this brooch offers an enduring elegance and a glimpse into the artistry of 19th-century Czechoslovakian design. In Excellent Vintage Condition.
