    Lumii_20230708_093853002.jpg The lady who owns the booth gifted this to me. It is mimicking Bohemian rosecut garnets, but it is very sparkly glass. I did Google for hours last night, didn't see another one. I am guessing 1920s-1930s. Thanks.

    Beautiful, Marko. It could be Bohemian/Czech, they made glass imitations of their own garnets, as well as many other stones.

    Bohemian glass garnets were also used a lot in Dutch regional jewellery, even together with gold clasps. Overhere glass garnets are quite collectible.

    Is the center one a true garnet?

    Unlikely, it is just not backed.
