Amazon.com Product Description
Rich and glamorously retro, these gorgeous red garnet earrings feature a sensuous gemstone shape enhanced by sparkling diamond-studded swoops. The look is reminiscent to the 1930s but updated with contemporary clean lines. The two 8x6mm antique cushion-shape garnets are deeply saturated red, the color of cabernet wine. (A cushion cut gemstone mimics a square, yet has rounded edges. The cut is usually brilliant to offer the highest light refraction.) Each earring also contains six round .005 carat diamonds, three on either sides of the garnet nestled in crescent moon-like swoops. This beautiful design causes the sparkling crescents to heighten the garnets strong shade. The diamonds all rest in four prongs, which, like the stud backings, are of durable 14k yellow gold.
Garnets, unlike other gemstones, are natural beauties whose consistently deep color needs no manipulating. As an added attraction, garnets change shades between daylight and artificial light and their high light refraction makes them wonderfully brilliant. Januarys birthstone is associated with imagination and inspiration, and is said to signify truth and faith. Impulsively red and glamorous, these garnet and diamond earrings are sure to turn admiring heads.
