Garnet earrings in 18K yellow gold

We present our beautiful gold and garnet rosettes, a relatively modernly manufactured jewel, with that vintage quality and appearance that only the reddish-toned garnet can convey.

Garnets, a group of minerals belonging to the silicates, constitute a very varied set within the world of gems and have been used since the Bronze Age as a precious stone and as an abrasive.

Its name comes from the medieval Latin granatum , and refers to the appearance and color of some varieties that resemble the seeds of the fruit Punica granatum , the pomegranate.

With the exception of blue, garnets are found in many colors, including orange, green, purple, yellow, brown, black, and even colorless, but by far the most prized is red. In fact, when we talk about colors and refer to the color garnet , the term describes a color similar to that of the dark red varieties of the gem, such as almandine garnet or pyrope.

Almandine garnet is a dark red garnet with purple undertones, frequently cut in cabochon or rose cut, and was very common in Iberian jewelry during the 18th and 19th centuries . With its color reminiscent of wine or blood, garnet, in its various red shades, is a highly prized gemstone that also has the advantage of not being among the most expensive.

Set in a prong and mounted in 18K yellow gold in a rosette design, the garnets stand out, enhanced by the metal and are evocative, while the earrings with omega closure sit perfectly on the lobe, framing the face with charm and elegance.

Suitable for almost any occasion, don’t miss the opportunity to try them in our store where you will also find a very wide catalog of options .
