    This was recently purchased in a thrift store for ten bucks. I have very limited knowledge in jewelry but when I saw the jeweled clasp I knew this wasn't junk. So when I got home I found this was similar to the bohemian garnet necklaces I saw online. The clasp works but the safety chain seems to be missing. There is also a missing stone on the chain. So it's not in perfect condition but I just love it and will keep it on display in my home. Maybe there is someone on this site that can confirm or disprove?

      A very nice Bohemian garnet necklace set in vermeil perhaps. Probably made in Germany at the end of the 19s century. Is there any mark?
    9. moonkana, 10 years ago
      Thanks for commenting Agram.m. I have not located any markings. I really like the design and haven't come across any identicals .. that's why I love this piece.

      This is a beautiful piece of Bohemian garnet jewelry. The material used is tombac (a brass-copper-zinc alloy). I would date it right to the end of the 19th century or even the beginning of the 20th century. The garnets still have a nice rose cut and the backs of the stones are closed.
      Later jewelry often shows garnets with a "Spiegelschliff" (a flat cut upper stone surface), an open backing and the metal the jewelry is made of changes to silver or gold.
      Most garnets used today in modern jewelry show brownish-red colors. The old garnets in contrast show wonderful blood red shades.
      Enjoy you wonderful collier!
