About Garnet
Garnet is a family of related minerals occurring in nearly every color — most commonly deep red (almandine and pyrope) but also bright green (tsavorite), orange (spessartine), and color-changing varieties. Garnet scores 6.5–7.5 on Mohs (durable for daily wear) and has been used in jewelry since ancient Egypt. It's the January birthstone and 2nd-anniversary gem. Red garnet often displays a deeper, more wine-toned red than ruby and offers a meaningful price advantage.
About 14K Rose Gold
14K rose gold gets its romantic pink hue from a copper-rich alloy — typically around 25% copper combined with silver. The color is warm, slightly less intense than 10K rose, and ages beautifully without tarnishing or requiring rhodium replating. Rose gold has been a defining engagement-ring trend of the last decade, pairing especially well with morganites, peach sapphires, and oval and cushion-cut diamonds. It flatters most skin tones and reads as both vintage and modern.
About Drop Earrings
Drop earrings feature a stationary or moving element that hangs below the earlobe — distinct from studs (which sit on the lobe) and hoops (which curve around the lobe). Drops range from delicate single-stone dangles to elaborate chandelier and Y-shaped designs for formal eveningwear. The movement and length draw attention to the neck and face, making drops a defining choice for evening and special-occasion wear.
