[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 8463621, member: 2844"]Ditto.:) And not only Bohemian garnets, but it also looks Bohemian made. It would have been bought new for your Grandmother's wedding, and she must have looked stunning and very fashionable with it. If your grandmother married in the second half of the 1890s, the screw earrings could just be of the period. Otherwise they replaced older hook earrings, which wasn't unusual. If Bohemian made, which is most likely, it isn't Victorian. Simply because the monarch of Bohemia of the time was not the British queen Victoria, but the Austro-Hungarian emperor-king Franz Joseph. So the term is either late 19th century Bohemian, or Austro-Hungarian. If it wasn't Bohemian made, it could have been made in Denmark by a Bohemian goldsmith, during the reign of Christian IX.[/QUOTE]
