About this work
Each of these earrings is formed from a simple hoop that ends in a hook-and-loop closure. An oval garnet is fixed below the loop on each earring; one earring has a much larger garnet, and a small ball affixed above the setting. The lower portion of each earring is decorated with two parallel rows of granules.
