Set with an array of luscious deep red natural Bohemian garnet - Pryope garnets - and designed as post fitting earrings for pierced ears.
The posts are threaded and quite sizeable and the backs are lovely resembling a tall openwork worn and these ’screw’ or thread onto the posts which make them very secure in the ear.
