Victorian English Back-Foil Garnet Drop Earrings in 18k Gold

She wore them like a secret—garnets so dark they looked black in the candlelight, but catch the flame just right, and they glowed like coals beneath glass.

Crafted in England during the late Victorian era, these earrings feature rich garnet cabochons delicately back-foiled to heighten their depth and fire. Each gem is set in warm 18k yellow gold with a softly scalloped bezel, the edges finely detailed with a twisted rope motif.

Their simplicity is deceptive. They speak not to fashion, but to feeling—quiet, shadowed, and unforgettable.
