Almandine Garnet & Gold Vermeil Drop Earrings - "Bleeding Lover"

Artist Anna Bánkuti's etched anatomical heart is set within elongated marquise-shaped drops of warm gold vermeil, with an arrow running through the design and pointing toward a deep wine-red almandine garnet suspended below each heart.

The narrow marquise shape gives these gold vermeil earrings a slightly vintage feel, while the smooth oval garnets add a rich flash of color and a little movement. Romantic with an unusual edge, they're a distinctive take on traditional heart jewelry.

FAQ

Will the color I see on my screen match the earrings in person?
Almandine garnet carries a deep wine-red tone that can read a bit differently depending on the light around it, and your monitor adds its own variation on top of that. Screen settings, video cards, and browsers can all affect color slightly, so the earrings you receive may look a bit different than what you see here. By purchasing, you're acknowledging that possibility. If you'd like a true look before buying, we're happy to walk you through it over video chat.

Are these solid gold earrings?

What type of garnets are used?
Each earring features one oval cabochon almandine garnet with a deep wine-red appearance.

How long are the earrings?
They have a drop length of approximately 1 3/4 inches and measure 3/8 inch across at the widest point.
