  Ca. 1860-Straight and tapering low karat gold handle totally studded with hundreds of painstakingly arranged, facetted and calibrated Bohemian garnets. One can see on the side five identical panels alternating with five rows of larger and matching fiery red stones all individually set and framed by two equal and encircling rows en suite. This elongated central part is topped by a round and domed cap also studded with even larger garnets set in a bloom-like arrangement. Plain yellow gold ring collar, ebony shat and a metal ferrule. This great example of the best and rest is a Bohemian jewelry celebration on the highest level and a feast for the eyes. Luckily, it was obviously well cared for and survived intact. H. 2 ¾” x ¾”, O.L. 37 ¼” Garnet jewels originates from Bohemia and are rightly associated with the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy culture. They are known to have adorned the dresses of Russian tsarinas at the Vienna Congress after the fall of Napoleon in 1815, Admired throughout history for their fiery red color and light refraction, they evolved to reach their actual appearance, where garnets dominate over the metal, at the end of the 19th century. Garnet. Born to the house of Mars and the month of January. It is the stone of inspiration and energy. The elements. Its red stones are like the ripe round polyps of a pomegranate. And fittingly, that is where garnet derives its name, from the Latin word "granatum" meaning "seed-like;" like the seeds of a pomegranate. While garnets most commonly exhibit red hues, they may also be found in various shades of yellow, orange, purple, and brown. Garnet includes a family of silicate minerals sharing similar chemical composition but varying in color. The power. Garnet: healer and protector. It promotes loyalty, devotion, and sincerity. Legend attributes it with stopping hemorrhaging, curing inflammatory diseases, and diffusing anger. The wearer of a garnet engraved with a lion image was said to be protected, honored, and guarded during all of his journeys. The value. Garnet's value lies in its purity of color and lack of inclusions. The tsavorite and demantoid varieties are most highly valued for their rarity and an outstanding green color. The origin. The blood red pyrope garnet can be found in deposits in Bohemia, Brazil, Sri Lanka, Saxony, Switzerland, South Africa, Scotland, and the Western United States. A story. In the thirteenth century, the blood red pyrope garnets were thought to be effective insect repellents. To prove the authenticity of a garnet, owners would take off their clothes and smear their bodies with honey. If insects did not swarm them, the garnet was real.
