Vintage Bohemian Garnet Brooch and Ring Set in Original Presentation Boxes

This set consists of two pieces of vintage costume jewelry: a circular brooch and a matching ring, both featured in their original light blue plastic presentation boxes with clear, ribbed acrylic lids. The items appear to be styled in the tradition of Bohemian garnet jewelry, characterized by a 'pomegranate' design where clusters of small, deep red stones are set closely together. The brooch has a domed, floral structure with a large central deep-red stone surrounded by radiating tiers of smaller circular-cut stones in prong settings. The metalwork appears to be a darkened silver-tone or gold-washed 'silver-gilt' common in mid-20th-century European production. The ring matches the brooch's motif with a clustered head and a simple metallic band. While the image is slightly blurred, the stones exhibit a rich, dark burgundy-red hue consistent with pyrope garnets or high-quality glass pastes. The clear lids of the boxes feature embossed circular logos and text, likely indicating a mid-century manufacturer or jeweler such as 'Garnet Turnov' or a similar export brand. The condition appears fair to good; the metal shows a dark patina consistent with age, and the presentation boxes are intact with minor surface scuffing. These pieces likely date from the 1950s to the 1970s and represent classic European cluster-style craftsmanship.
