Description: Gorgeous European Victorian day/night garnet earrings. For a more subtle look, the bottoms can be removed and the tops worn alone. The setting is a low karat rose gold, commonly called "garnet gold". The earrings are most likely Austro-Hungarian in origin. They hook back to front so that they sit perfectly in the ear and do not fall forward. To see other images of this item, please click here: photo1 and photo2 and photo3
