A beautifully dramatic antique Bohemian garnet star brooch with deep wine-red garnets set across an eight-point celestial form. The layered construction and densely packed rose-cut garnets give this piece remarkable depth and sparkle, especially in low evening light where the stones glow with rich crimson flashes.
The raised floral cluster centre adds wonderful dimension, while the starburst silhouette gives the brooch a romantic Victorian gothic feel. Pieces like this were often worn as sentimental jewellery in the late Victorian era, and this one still carries that darkly elegant presence.
The back retains its original antique pin assembly and shows the expected age and patina consistent with antique garnet jewellery. A striking collector’s piece that also styles beautifully on jackets, scarves, velvet ribbons, hats, or layered with other antique jewellery.
