Exceptionally valuable artifacts were discovered in the region of Rakovník in 2020 as a wealth deposit of gold objects from the Migration Period, richly decorated with Czech garnets, almandine and glass. The gemstones on the studied archaeological artifacts were cut in two different types of cuts. The first type is represented by flat plates polished on both sides, the colour of which is red with a very slight brownish tint. The other type are gemstones cut in the form of round high cabochons, the colour being blood red with a subtle cinnamon tint. The whole set consists of four richly decorated objects (a torso of a buckle consisting of a frame, a prong and a buckle plate and a completely preserved undamaged ring). The gemstone filling of the objects was studied using a micro-Raman spectrometer and also by conventional gemological methods. Due to the fact that three of the objects in the deposit are damaged, it is possible to study their structure non-destructively in cross-section using X-ray computed tomography. This revealed structural elements that are not visible due to the filling of the individual compartments of the cloisonné-style jewelry.\n
