Victorian Bohemian Garnet Bird Brooch

A striking Victorian era brooch dating to 1880–1900, designed as a graceful bird adorned with almandine garnets. The richly colored garnets create a dramatic, jewel-like surface, their deep crimson tones characteristic of the highly sought-after garnet jewelry produced during the late 19th century. The dense arrangement of garnets gives the piece exceptional texture and visual depth, enhanced by the warm glow of the antique stones.

The base metal brooch measures 1.1 inches by 2.2 inches wide and weighs 6.30 grams, offering a refined yet eye-catching presence when worn.

It is presented in very good antique condition; there is one missing garnet on the bird's neck, which does not significantly detract from the overall beauty or wearability of the piece.

Gemstone identification has been confirmed using Raman spectroscopy, a non-destructive analytical technique that provides a precise chemical fingerprint to verify authenticity.
