Product Type: Earrings

A natural red garnet of 1.00 carat sits on each ear in these garnet stud earrings, held by four-prong heads of solid 14K yellow gold, 2.00 carats for the pair. Garnet is the deep, wine-dark red of a good Cabernet held up to a candle, and the warm metal around it makes that red glow rather than sit flat.

  • Natural red garnet, the classic January birthstone.
  • Solid 14K yellow gold, warm metal that flatters red.
  • Tough enough daily, with no easy splitting direction in the stone.
  • Barely there weight for all-day wear without a tug.

Garnet Stud Earrings in Changing Light

Garnet stud earrings change character with the light more than most red stones. Under a dim restaurant lamp a 6 mm garnet can read almost black-cherry, and in daylight or warm light it lights up to a clear ruby-wine red. That depth is why garnet looks rich rather than bright, and it is the reason people choose it over a candy-red stone.

Every garnet is a 6 mm round brilliant weighing 1.00 carat, set on four prongs above a push-back post. Each stone is about 0.24 inch across, a size that shows its color without taking over the ear. The clarity grade is SI1 to SI2; in a red this deep, inclusions are hard to find even when you look for them.

Why Yellow Gold Warms the Red

Yellow gold and red garnet share the warm side of the color wheel, so the metal reflects a little golden light back into the stone. The prongs frame each garnet in four bright points, which keeps a dark stone from disappearing against hair or skin. Wear them with cream, camel, black and green, and the red becomes the accent your outfit was missing. Together the two earrings weigh 0.716 grams, and 0.27 grams of that is solid 14K yellow gold.

Garnet Studs for January Birthdays

Is garnet the January birthstone? Yes, on both the traditional and modern lists. Search interest in garnet studs climbs in December and stays high into January.

Are garnet studs tough enough for daily wear? Red garnet rates about 7 to 7.5 in Mohs hardness, with no cleavage plane, so it handles everyday knocks well.

Why does my garnet look darker indoors? Deep red stones need light coming in to show their color. Near a window or under warm bulbs the red returns at once.

Will solid 14K gold wear through like plating? No. The maker lists the metal as solid 14K yellow gold, so there is no thin layer to rub through and the color is the same all the way in. The maker states they are handcrafted.
