Garnets were widely admired for their deep wine-red tones and symbolic associations with love and protection. The hand-cut faceting gives each bead a soft, glowing brilliance rather than a modern sharp sparkle, enhancing its antique character. The clasp is designed as a floral motif, set with a rose-cut rock crystal, a gemstone traditionally used in antique jewellery to imitate diamonds or enhance light reflection in candlelit settings.
