About the Item

This beautiful 19th-century parure showcases the timeless elegance of garnets set in richly detailed gold. Comprising a necklace and matching earrings, the set demonstrates the craftsmanship and romantic symbolism typical of late Georgian to early Victorian jewelry design. The necklace alternates between floral quatrefoil motifs set with garnets and circular medallions, each centered with a deep red garnet framed by intricate gold beadwork and cannetille details. The matching earrings feature pear-shaped faceted garnets suspended in ornate gold surrounds, finished with delicate fringes that enhance their movement and charm. Garnets were highly prized in 19th-century Europe for their fiery brilliance and symbolic associations with love, passion, and protection. Jewelry sets such as this were often worn as evening adornments, with origins likely in Central Europe, Bohemia (modern-day Czech Republic) being renowned for its garnet mines and jewelry workshops. The style also resonates with Southern European craftsmanship, where floral and cannetille work was popular. This jewelry set has survived in beautiful condition, a testament to its quality and careful preservation. It represents not only a work of art but also a piece of history, embodying the refinement and sentimental symbolism of its period.
