Rhodolite Garnet Oval Drop Earrings | 9ct Yellow Gold

Oval rhodolite garnets in a deep raspberry-purple, claw-set and hung from shepherd's hooks in 9ct yellow gold.

A single oval rhodolite garnet in each ear, held in a four-claw setting that lifts the stone and lets the light through. The berry-toned colour glows against warm yellow gold, and the simple hooks let the drops swing gently as you move.

About rhodolite garnet

Rhodolite is the rose-pink to raspberry-purple member of the garnet family, a natural blend of pyrope and almandine that gives it that bright, berry-toned colour, cleaner and more luminous than the deep red most people picture when they hear "garnet." A hard, durable stone that takes a brilliant polish and wears beautifully day to day.

Hardness: 7–7.5 on the Mohs scale
Birthstone: January
