Choker Necklace with Garnets In Gold & Silver Made of 19th Century Elements

Description

After the abolition of the rigorous dress codes, which had prohibited the rural population from wearing colorful clothing and metal jewelry since the Middle Ages, increasingly colorful and varied traditional costumes and, of course, jewelry were able to develop from the end of the 18th century. For women, it was mainly pile clasps and choker necklaces, bodice cords with pendants and elaborately decorated lacing pins, earrings and finger rings, hood pins and hair arrows, and for men, finger rings, watch chains with a variety of pendants and silver coin buttons. On the North Sea coast, from the Netherlands to Schleswig-Holstein, multi-row necklaces worn close to the neck were popular throughout the 19th century, held in place by magnificent clasps worn in front of the neck. The necklaces could be made of coral, glass or even garnet. This piece of jewelry is such a choker necklace. Countless hand-faceted Bohemian garnets are strung in six strands, which nestle against the wearer's neck at a slight distance from each other. The large gold clasp is set with rose-cut garnets. We were able to purchase the necklace as it is here in Berlin. It was recently reassembled from antique elements from the 19th century. The clasp was probably created at the end of the 19th century. The garnet beads with their different cuts probably come from different pieces of jewelry from the mid to late 19th century. However, they complement each other wonderfully and create a harmonious picture. A wonderful overview of the richness of European traditional jewelry can be found in Jane Perry: Traditional Jewellery in Nineteenth-Century Europe, Victorian & Albert Museum, London 2013.
