Bohemian garnets at their most characteristic: a dense, glittering cluster of deep pyrope red stones set close together in an antique gold setting, the way Victorian jewelers intended. Each stone is faceted to catch candlelight — or any light, really — and the overall effect is one of saturated, unapologetic color. 

Bohemian garnets were mined in what is now the Czech Republic and reached peak popularity in the mid-to-late 19th century. The cluster setting is one of the most sought-after configurations, maximizing the stones’ collective brilliance. A piece like this is increasingly difficult to find in this condition.
