Description
Garnets have been treasured for thousands of years—from ancient Egyptian jewelry to Victorian keepsakes. Their deep red hue is an enduring symbolism of love and protection. These huggie hoop earrings feature petite genuine garnets set in gold vermeil, with a sleek profile that comfortably hugs the earlobe. They make a meaningful gift for January birthdays or anyone drawn to the richness of this historic stone.
