From the mysterious and legendary deeps of our mountains comes a jewel called "Karfunkel". Gleaming mystically in dark red and crafted into wonderful jewellery, it became the symbol of a wealthy class of citizens. Jewellers with a sense for detail are devoted to this almost cult-like jewellery.
The ancient forms and models, enchanting with their dignity and beauty, still find a lot of enthusiasts - also among fanciers. Our jewellery pieces are of silver with garnet of different size and style.

Our garnet jewellery is handmade: Our Jewellery Collection ranges from: garnet earrings, garnet rings, necklaces and colliers with garnets, pendants, bracelets and garnet brooches in silver in antique style.
Pyrop and almandin should be the most popular garnets, as their colour is known as garnet red. However, apart from the typical red, the spectrum of garnet may also range from ruby-red to emerald-green. The word "garnet" comes from the Latin word "granum" and means corn - the typical form of this stone.
In addition to pyrop and almandin, there are different sorts of garnet, as rhodolith (pink), spessartin (orange to red-brown), uwarowit (emerald-green) or andradit (yellow, green and brown to black).
All pictures shown here are examples and represent only a small portion of our collection. Apart from rings, necklaces and ear jewellery, we can also offer you bracelets and brooches.
