Featured Old Bohemian Garnet Pins - Part of my Collection

Gorgeous garnets, from two Karens! Welcome, VintageKaren!

 

Welcome! Thank you both for showing your garnets!

 

LOL @ Kokokwa and OBB.
I have other pieces, a bracelet, some rings and a cross but these and a Victorian hair locket with glass cover are my favorites.
I'd love to see the rest of Karen's collection.

 

And we'd love to see the rest of your collection, too. Love the owls!

Vintage Karen and Calico, I can see why you collect this garnet jewelry. It is just amazing.

 

I also have a later Art Deco polished bead necklace with a sterling clasp, not the same as the style of these but looks so good together. I'll try to get it all together and take some pics tonight or tomorrow.

 

Garnet is my birthday stone, I am SO JEALOUS!!!!!!!

 

So cute Karen! Do you wear them??

 

I would be happy to share the rest of my collection. I'll take some photos in a day or two.

 

On occasion, especially the ring. Never fails to get compliments.

 

The rest of my Bohemian Garnet pieces are stored away from my move, still to be unpacked. I wore this recently so it was easy to find.
This is a large Victorian pin that has a tiny flip bale so I wear it on this slightly later watch chain with a garnet slide. This piece has a deep glass covered hair or picture receptacle in the back. Both set in sterling with gold wash.

 

Sweeeeeeeeeet !!!!!

 

Thank you Komokwa, these pieces are so beautiful in-hand. The red sparkle is so fiery yet understated, not flashy, just gorgeous.
Truly one of my favorite types of antique jewelry, and I have a lot of antique and vintage jewelry. It's what I deal in mostly.

 

Oh, my, Calico! How absolutely exquisite!

 

Then you are blessed to have a life filled with muted BLING !!!!

 

Ooooh....love this piece!!!

 

Hi Calico,
That is understated gorgeous.

Thank you All !
I hope Karen is able to post more of her collection, I love looking at authentic BG jewelry.

 

Oh my goodness, at first I was reading the text and only saw the top of the photo and was admiring the garnet on the watch chain.

Then I scrolled down.

...Speechless! Its stunning!

 

There are some beautiful examples on Morning Glory's site.
Grab a bib.
