Description
Complete your look with a handmade, petite pair of Garnet Dangle Pierced Earrings that add a pop of color and a dose of drama to any look. This fiery red gemstone is January's birthstone, making these garnet teardrop earrings a great gift for a New Year birthday.
One of the oldest known gemstones in the world, garnet has been found in the archaeological sites—and legends—of ancient Egyptians, Greeks, Chinese, Celts, and more. Garnet was believed to bring protection, inspire feats of courage, kindle love, and stir one's creative spirits. They may not bring about the same results as ancient lore depicts, but these petite faceted garnet drop earrings are sure to garner compliments. Designed to match our Garnet Pendant Necklace.
This jewelry item comes packaged in a white box (pictured).
