A Pair of 9 Carat Gold and Garnet Solitaire Hoop Earrings Weight 0.61 gm - A matched pair of open-ended hoop earrings, often referred to as sleeper or threader-style hoops. Each earring is constructed from a fine, circular yellow gold wire that terminates in a straight post section. The junction of the hoop and post features a small decorative setting holding a single round-faceted reddish-brown gemstone, consistent in appearance with a garnet. The stones are secured within a four-prong basket setting. The straight post of one earring bears an impressed mark. Within a series of small, rectangular recessed shapes, the characters 3, 7, and 5 are legible, signifying the British hallmark for 9 carat gold. The preceding assay office mark and date letter are present but not clearly legible due to their scale.
