Faceted red garnet in sterling silver—small enough for every day, vivid enough to notice.
The garnet group includes over twenty species; the deep red stones in jewelry are most often almandine (iron-aluminum garnet), Mohs hardness 6.5–7.5, with no cleavage and a vitreous luster that responds well to faceting. These earrings set faceted garnets in solid .925 sterling silver. Major deposits of red gem garnet come from the Adirondack Mountains of New York, India, the Czech Republic, and East Africa, where the mineral occurs in metamorphic rock formed under significant pressure and heat.
Garnet appears in Egyptian burial jewelry from before 3000 BCE and was the stone of choice for Roman soldiers and officers, who wore it carved and set in signet rings. It is January's traditional birthstone and is linked in the chakra tradition to the root chakra.
Earrings that hold their color in any light—the red of garnet is saturated enough to read in dim rooms.
