In a world where elegance and grace were highly valued, a truly enchanting piece of jewellery was created: an antique garnet brooch from the 1850/60s. This masterpiece, crafted from tombac and adorned with sparkling Bohemian garnet stones, radiates a timeless beauty that has been preserved over the centuries.
The brooch, which once adorned the neckline of an elegant lady, is presented in a horizontal basic shape. Its curved and flower-shaped elements on the outer edges are reminiscent of the floral craftsmanship of the time. A blossom sits enthroned in the centre, framed in a square standing on its tip, the structure of which is curved in several stages. This artistic design lends the piece of jewellery a three-dimensional depth and a touch of mysticism.
The garnet stones that adorn this jewel are cut in both round and teardrop shapes and sparkle in the light with a deep, ruby-red glow. Held by filigree prongs, they seem to be caught in a delicate dance that captivates the eyes of the beholder. Each stone, carefully selected and placed, completes the harmonious overall picture of this brooch.
The back of the piece of jewellery is as functional as it is beautiful, equipped with a classic pin clasp that holds the brooch securely in place. Despite its age, the brooch has a beautiful patina that bears witness to its long history and the many moments in which it has been admired.
