{"product_id":"garnet-stud-earrings-14k-gold","title":"Red Garnet Stud Earrings in Solid 14K Yellow Gold","description":"\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNatural red garnet\u003c\/strong\u003e, the classic January birthstone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolid 14K yellow gold\u003c\/strong\u003e, warm metal that flatters red.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTough enough daily\u003c\/strong\u003e, with no easy splitting direction in the stone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBarely there weight\u003c\/strong\u003e for all-day wear without a tug.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGarnet Stud Earrings in Changing Light\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGarnet 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. \u003cstrong\u003eThat depth is why garnet looks rich rather than bright\u003c\/strong\u003e, and it is the reason people choose it over a candy-red stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Yellow Gold Warms the Red\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eYellow 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. \u003cstrong\u003eWear them with cream, camel, black and green, and the red becomes the accent your outfit was missing.\u003c\/strong\u003e Together the two earrings weigh 0.716 grams, and 0.27 grams of that is solid 14K yellow gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGarnet Studs for January Birthdays\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs garnet the January birthstone?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, on both the traditional and modern lists. Search interest in garnet studs climbs in December and stays high into January.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre garnet studs tough enough for daily wear?\u003c\/strong\u003e Red garnet rates about 7 to 7.5 in Mohs hardness, with no cleavage plane, so it handles everyday knocks well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does my garnet look darker indoors?\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep red stones need light coming in to show their color. Near a window or under warm bulbs the red returns at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill solid 14K gold wear through like plating?\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vossagin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68282599768365,"sku":"2CTWNRGSE14KYG","price":583.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0667\/4553\/2717\/files\/vossagin-garnet-stud-earrings-14k-gold-front-pair.jpg?v=1794469685","url":"https:\/\/aysire.com\/products\/garnet-stud-earrings-14k-gold","provider":"Aysire","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
