Object Description
A stunning pair of Near Eastern gold earrings with beautiful garnet adornments. The earrings feature a robust hook with a large curving loop, finished with a small gold ball. A teardrop shaped bezel framed by small gold granules, holds the garnet in place (one slightly lighter in colour than the other). From the base of each bezel, three conical gold settings hold further garnets with subtly pointed tips embellishing the pieces.
