Red Earrings in Sterling Silver  

Genuine Red Gemstones Set in .925 Sterling Silver

Red gemstones carry distinct mineral properties that affect their color and durability. Garnet gets its deep crimson hue from iron and manganese content, while carnelian owes its orange-red tones to iron oxide within chalcedony quartz. Red jasper, an opaque variety of microcrystalline quartz, rates 6.5-7 on the Mohs scale and resists scratching well. Each stone type offers a different shade within the red spectrum, from the brownish-red of jasper to the bright scarlet of coral. Our silversmiths set these genuine stones in .925 sterling silver, the international standard for quality silver jewelry. This alloy contains 92.5% pure silver with copper added for strength, creating settings that hold stones secure without tarnishing quickly. The silver framework allows light to interact with translucent stones like garnet, which can display different hues depending on the light source. Prices in this collection range from $436 to $21,856, reflecting stone quality, size, and setting complexity.
