The Victorians loved the romantic Dark Sparkle of garnet jewels and so do we. These magnificent Bohemian garnet dangle earrings are a splendid example of the style. Clusters of round and teardrop-shaped rose cut garnets are set in crimped pie crust bezels to form flowers and fans. The earring tops are shaped like daisies, the center piece is shaped like bluebells and the bottom piece is shaped like a folded fan. Two points of articulation give these generously sized earrings graceful movement and swing. The garnets are set in jeweler's brass, also called garnet gold for its popular use in the Bohemian garnet jewels of the era. This piece is beautifully constructed, with layers of brass riveted together to create texture and depth. The ear wires are 14k gold. Circa 1890.

Details....The earrings measure 2.1" long and .75" at the widest point. In Very Good Antique Condition. Some wear should be expected on all vintage and antique pieces, we consider it to be part of their charm.
