As a dark and mysterious stone, garnets have always been the object of desire for people of all ages. In Germany, the dark red pyrope garnets are most commonly used, which we also find in the piece of jewelry presented here. These gemstones originate from sites in Bohemia and delight with their deep and rich color. Garnets from Bohemia have also been used in this necklace. The stones are irregularly faceted and strung in five rows. The stones are carefully sorted: they become larger towards the middle so that the necklace has a graduated pattern. The clasp of the necklace is also very beautiful. It is made of chased gold and is covered with white and blue enamel. As is so often the case with Biedermeier jewelry, its design is based on Rococo and Baroque models, which were adapted to suit the tastes of the time.
