Vintage garnet jewelry
Bohemian garnet clusters, almandine cabochons and the deep red rose cuts Victorians loved. Some of the best value in antique jewelry.
Between pieces
Nothing in garnet is available this week
Every piece here exists once, so this page empties and fills again as we buy. That is exactly when it is worth telling us what you are after: our buyers are with European estates, auction houses and private sellers every week, and we write to you first when something right comes in.
About garnet
What defines it
Bohemian pyrope garnets and larger almandine and hessonite stones were cut flat-backed and foiled in earlier work, which is original and should not be replaced.
What to look for
Every piece here is checked at our own bench before it goes online: metal karat tested, marks read under magnification, stones and settings examined, and condition described as we find it. Anything we cannot verify is left as not specified rather than guessed, and we will show you any piece live on video before you buy.
What it costs
Expect roughly $800 to $9,000 for pieces set with this stone, with size, origin and the absence of treatment doing most of the work on price.
Indicative only. Every curated vintage, antique and estate piece is one of a kind and priced on its own merits, with free insured US shipping.
