Red garnets show off their radiant shine in these pear-shaped gemstone earrings. The 7x5mm faceted garnet pears are mounted in four-prong settings of popular and durable 14 karat yellow gold, with 14 karat gold posts and friction backings. Garnet's notable brilliance comes from its particularly high refraction of light. This ancient gemstone has been prized throughout the ages for its alluring deep red to red-orange color and its luminous shine. Garnet is the birthstone for January, and a striking gemstone for any season.
