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.
This deep red garnet flower ring is a wonderful example of the style popularized in the late nineteenth century. With this on your finger, it's easy to imagine shortening your skirts, rimming your eyes with kohl, and sipping Chianti at an Artists Salon or dancing to the phonograph at a midnight Soirée!
