A demantoid garnet and diamond bow brooch, circa 1910 Millegrain-set with a graduated row of calibré-cut demantoid garnets between old brilliant and single-cut diamonds, mounted in platinum, later brooch fitting, length 4.8cm, fitted case by Collingwood Ltd, 46 Conduit St Fußnoten Demantoid garnets, treasured for their adamantine lustre and bright grass green colour, were first discovered and mined in the Russian Ural Mountains from 1868, and became popular with Carl Fabergé and other Russian court jewellers. Some demantoid garnets were exported to the European market at extremely high prices and used in Edwardian jewels. It is rare to find such well matching and relatively large demantoid garnets as seen in this brooch, and to produce this jewel would have been an extremely costly and extravagant procedure.
