Garnet Earrings in 14ct Gold Plate

Cabochon garnets became particularly popular in mid to late 20th century jewellery because of their deep, even colour and softer reflective quality compared with faceted stones. These hefty earrings are finished in 1/20 14K gold plate, marked to the backs, meaning the gold content is heavier than standard flash plating and contributes to both durability and colour tone. The maker’s mark “AL” is present on the reverse. The earrings use posts with butterfly backs, along with an additional hinged fitting which may have been intended to improve stability or distribute weight more comfortably on the ear. They are 24.5mm in diameter and weigh 14.48g overall, with approximately 0.7g of 14K gold in the plating layer. The smooth cabochon garnets give the earrings a balanced, understated look that works well for occasional or evening wear.
