Bohemian garnet jewellery dates back to the 19th century. During this time, garnets were one of the most popular types of stones used in jewellery production. Most often, bohemian garnet jewellery was set in a closed back setting made of rose gold gilt over silver; this method is sometimes referred to as 'garnet gold'.
