8mm Garnet cabochons of best translucent wine-red, lively and warm, in simple bezel set earrings of handworked 9ct Gold, bezels holding the edge of gemstones allowing exposure of rear and maximum light penetration.
22mm total eardrop length.
This wine-red colour is characteristic of the Almandine variety of the Garnet gemstone family; India has been the prime origin of the Almandine Garnet for a long time, and India still has good supply, but it has become difficult to get this sort of clear warmth in the colour; these gemstones were cut polished and purchased decades ago, hence the excellence in quality.
