The word “Bohemian” derives from the region of Bohemia, a kingdom which later became Czechoslovakia. Among other flourishing trades, this region produced gorgeous, deep red garnet gemstones and a style of jewelry that quickly became popular in the late Victorian Era and through the turn of the century. A gorgeous gem that has ties to Greek mythology and the story of Persephone and her pomegranate, symbolizing blood, death and rebirth.
This lovely garnet necklace has a dramatic double strand of strung garnet beads. It has been constructed so that there is a wonderful swag draping effect when worn. A garnet encrusted cross pendant takes center stage, giving a dramatic, Gothic look that will lend itself to all of your artsiest ensembles!
