GARNET & BOHEMIAN GARNET JEWELRY

GARNETS are the birthstone for January, although that does not stop
those of us with other birth months from enjoying them. The Bohemian
garnet was only found in Bohemia and was valued for it’s color, beauty and
supposed curative and uplifting effects. Garnet jewelry is varied in style
and garnets themselves range from multi-faceted reflectors of rich deep
reds to cabochons, juicy as pomegranate seeds. They also come in almost
all colors except blue.

Garnets were mounted in both low and higher karat yellow gold, gold
plate and mixed metal settings and more recently in sterling. The
history of garnet jewelry goes back hundreds of years and it’s longevity
is no surprise when you see how glorious they are. Bohemian garnet
jewelry is known for it’s encrusted close-set stones, which are often
rose cut and sometimes combined with larger cabochons and faceted
stones.

An article in the
"Journal of the Society of the Arts" August 25, 1892, states that at
that time there were over 3000 cutters working in 500 shops in the
Bohemian garnet industry. With the miners and other workers there were
about 10,000 persons making a living in the industry, and they certainly
made a lot of wonderful jewelry.

After World War I, Bohemia became Czechoslovakia.

There are two species of garnets- the Oriental and the Bohemian. The lustre
and beauty of the Oriental Garnet places it far above the other in
commercial value; the tint most esteemed is violet-red. It is composed of a
double silicate of Lime and Alumina. They are found in Pegu, in Asia, Brazil
and Ceylon. The Bohemian Garnet is composed of a double silicate of Alumina
and Iron, and are found in great abundance in Bohemia, Saxony and other
parts of Germany."

One of the most exciting reference sources
for attributing and dating vintage jewelry are the advertisements in vintage magazines from
years past. These wonderful old advertisements illustrate how vintage costume jewelry was worn, when it
was made, and how it coordinated with the styles of the time. We have also
found ads that tell us who made some of the unsigned pieces we all love. You
can click on each photograph for a larger view.

Many of these ads were shared courtesy of Julie Scarlett, who
sold vintage ads under the seller name papercharm on

of them.

Bobye Syverson says, "The 20% added charge was a federal tax,
created to pay for WW2. It was called a luxury tax and was charged for
things that were not ‘necessities’, such as jewelry! The law was set up to
be in effect for "the duration plus 6", which meant until the end of the
war, plus six months."
