Red garnet faceted and set in sterling silver—a stone old enough to have dressed Roman centurions.
Garnet is not one mineral but a group of related silicates; almandine (iron-aluminum) and pyrope (magnesium-aluminum) are the dark red varieties standard in faceted jewelry. Mohs hardness 6.5–7.5, no cleavage, vitreous luster. These earrings set faceted garnets in solid .925 sterling silver. Principal gem-quality sources include the Adirondack Mountains of New York, India, the Czech Republic, and East Africa—the stone forms in metamorphic schists and gneisses under prolonged heat and pressure.
Red garnet has been in continuous use for more than five millennia, documented in Egyptian Nile Delta ornaments and Roman military jewelry. It is the traditional January birthstone and is linked in the chakra tradition to the root chakra and to vitality.
An earring that goes with most wardrobes and holds its color through years of daily wear.
