Modern Pear-Cut Garnet and Diamond Dangle Earrings

This pair of dangle earrings features a modern, elongated aesthetic, centered around two pear-cut garnets displaying a deep, saturated red hue characteristic of the pyrope or almandine variety. Each earring consists of a long, tapered vertical bar crafted from a white metal, likely sterling silver or 10k/14k white gold. This bar terminates in a small, round brilliant accent stone, which appears to be a small diamond or cubic zirconia, serving as a transitional link to the pear-cut drop below. The garnets are secured in three-prong settings to maximize light entry. The reverse of one earring reveals a hollowed-out construction in the bar, a common technique to reduce weight for comfort. The fasteners are standard post-and-butterfly backs; notably, the butterfly back on the right earring is a yellow-gold tone, indicating it is likely a replacement, as it does not match the white-metal body of the earrings. The overall condition is good, showing minor surface scratches consistent with light wear. The style is contemporary, likely dating from the 1990s to the early 2000s, showcasing clean geometric lines and a minimalist drop design.
