These luxurious earrings fuse inspirations from ancient civilizations with modern metaphysical intentions. Transparent garnets hang from handmade chain links. The brass lunula (crescent moon on its side) pendants with their tiny garnet cabochons are extremely similar to lunula pendants from ancient Greece, Rome, the Migration Era, or the Viking Age. Garnet, particularly the almandine type seen here, has ancient associations with Persephone and pomegranates; modernly, people hold that it can attract love and wealth while affording mental protection. It is also the birthstone for January. Granulation, the ancient technique of fusing tiny metal balls onto a larger surface for decoration, is used to enhance the design. They are 2" from top to bottom including the gold plated fishhook style earwires.
