Such ripe goodness! These juicy-looking antique Garnet drop earrings have a feeling of genuine warmth and the fact that they have been much loved and worn is evident in the repairs which are easily visible but seem to add rather than detract from their beauty. Circa 1870's, they are hand made and set with richly coloured hand faceted rose-cut pyrope Garnets in 'garnet gold', a mixed metal alloy. They measure 3cm from the top of the 9ct Gold wires.
