| These gold garnet earrings are Georgian, circa 1800. Designed in the round, they have beautiful almandine garnets, cut flat and finely faceted at the edges. The stones are foil back to reflect light as they are closed at the back, typical of the period. The result is a rich, ruby red color of varying hues so lovely and unique to early jewelry. The garnets all have fine collets that were hand crimped around each stone. The size too is wonderful, measuring 7/8 across and down. The length is 1 1/8 long with the ear wires. The original ear wires have been replaced and well matched for the pale rose color of the gold. Several tiny depressions in the gold on the reverse, otherwise fine. They are beautiful on the ear and the perfect complement to early jewelry. Circa 1800 and English in origin. | |||||||||||
