SOLID GOLD, NOT PLATED
This is the same Bohemian cluster we make in silver, executed in solid 14k gold. Plating wears through with time; solid gold does not - the colour is the metal itself, and the piece can be worn daily for decades and passed on. Yellow gold deepens the red of the garnet, white gold makes it read brighter - both have been used in Bohemian jewellery for generations.
NATURAL CZECH GARNET FROM BOHEMIA
The stones are mined at the pyrope deposits of Bohemia and cut in Czech art workshops. Our garnets come from two of the oldest gemstone factories in Europe, working to traditions several centuries old - that is what makes stones this small so precise in cut and so deep in colour. Czech pyrope is darker and warmer than commercial garnet, and it holds its red under artificial light instead of going brown.
The paws hold each stone tightly while the setting lets light pass through its depth, which is what gives the cluster its inner glow rather than a flat surface shine.
HALLMARKS - INDEPENDENTLY VERIFIED
585 - fineness mark, 14k gold
Swan head - the Czech State Hallmark for 585/1000 gold, struck by the Czech Assay Office (Puncovni urad CR), a state authority that independently verifies the gold content
A-B - our own registered maker's mark
Gold is assayed by the state, not by us: the swan is applied only after the metal has been tested. A-B is registered with the Assay Office of the Slovak Republic (Puncovy urad SR) - message us and we will send you the registry link.
Slovakia and the Czech Republic are both member states of the Vienna Hallmarking Convention, so these marks are recognised across the UK, Switzerland, Austria, Ireland, Poland, the Netherlands and other member countries.
CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY
Every order includes our A-B certificate confirming the origin and nature of the stone - issued by us as the maker, with a hologram. We are asked about this often, so it comes with every piece as standard, no request needed.
HOW TO WEAR
Light and easy to put on - they do not pull the earlobe or catch in the hair, so they work as everyday earrings as well as for occasions. With an evening dress the cluster puts a sharp point of colour near the face; in a business look it refreshes without breaking the code. A piece to wear now and hand down later.
MATCHING SET AND OTHER METALS
The same cluster is also available as a matching set - pendant, ring and bracelet. And in sterling silver 925 and gold plated silver, if you would like the design at a lower price point. Browse the full collection in our shop.
CARE
Wipe with a soft cloth after wear. Solid gold does not tarnish and needs no polishing compound. Put jewellery on after perfume and cream. Do not force the clamps when fastening. Store in the original box.

These beautiful little earrings combine a classic cluster design that my great-great-grandmother would have recognized with the slimmer post and secure fastener of modern earrings.
