Garnet natural stone drop earrings, sterling silver, 6mm dark red

Garnet natural stone and sterling silver drop earrings, which will arrive nicely presented in a gift box. Drop length: 35mm; Width: 6mm Nature is not perfect and no two pieces are identical. Please be aware therefore, that if you require perfection, these are not for you. Garnet is said to be the stone of purity and truth. Symbol of love and compassion. When worn as jewellery it is believed to increase self esteem and bring constancy to friendships. Garnet is the birthstone for January. The photos shows a representation of what you will receive in style and stone. By the very nature of sterling silver, there is no way to protect it from tarnishing because sterling silver reacts with so many materials found in everyday life. The best way to reduce tarnish build-up is to actually wear your sterling silver jewellery often. When sterling silver is not worn it tarnishes quickly. Unavoidable I'm afraid, but perfectly normal and nothing to be concerned by, and it can easily be removed with a silver polishing cloth. PLEASE NOTE The close up photo may make the item seem larger than life, so please check on a tape measure/ruler if you are in any doubt as to the size stated in the listing, to ensure that it matches your expectations/assumptions prior to purchasing, to prevent potential disappointment on arrival.
