The deep red of the garnet has fired the human imagination for thousands of years. In the Middle Ages, garnets were known as "carbuncle stones". It was believed that they would glow on their own. The origin of the term "carbuncle" is Latin and alludes to this ancient belief: carbunculus means something like red-hot coal. Glowing red, rose-cut Bohemian garnets are also arranged close together in this necklace, forming a garland of stars and flowers. The gold-plated silver settings are completely understated and almost only allow the deep red shine of the garnets to be visible. Even the clasp is set with these stones, so that the necklace can also be shown off to its best advantage with festive hair up-dos. The type of fringed necklace and the garnets set in pavé settings are typical of the fashion of the last third of the 19th century, particularly in German-speaking countries. A magnificent piece of jewelry that unfolds a seductive glow, not least in candlelight.
