This is a pretty pair of Tanzanian Lotus garnet and sterling silver earrings. The small oval garnets are set in solid sterling silver. The backs are post or stud with sterling push backs with rubber disks. They are petite earrings with 6mm x 4mm oval gemstones that are prong set. They are stamped 925. Very nice!

Unearthed in north Tanzania, lotus garnet was only recently discovered in late 2015. Found in alluvial mines, the amount of rough is unknown and each production is small and has a variation in color with every pocket produced.
