[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 3767680, member: 2844"]Agree. It is Bohemian made ca 1880-1890s, using Bohemian garnets. That is because they often used 'garnet gold', a specific Bohemian fineness for garnet jewellery with a content of .250 gold, 6 carat. It was also called 'Viertelgold' which means 'quarter gold'. Garnet gold began to be used in Bohemia in the second half of the 19th century, and continued to be used until the early years of the 20th century.[/QUOTE]
