These earrings were made because I really wanted a pair of them! The impetus was to make a really beautiful pair of earrings that when worn would imbue you with a sense of strength and personal power. Garnets have traditionally been used great for Strength and personal empowerment as well as helping ti strengthen the blood and the circulatory system. They are stamped with the Sigil for Art as well as my personal maker stamp and the stamp for Sterling silver .925.
