Pear-Shaped Spessartite Garnet Earrings - "Saffron Embers"

These are not earrings you will see on anyone else, anywhere, ever. Michael Jensen set two pear-shaped spessartite garnets, the kind that glow mandarin-orange like they have their own light source, into bezels of rich yellow gold. He surrounded each one with oxidized sterling silver, hand-textured in his signature style, the kind of surface that catches light in a hundred small ways instead of one big one. A diamond rests at each tip, just enough brightness to keep the dark silver from feeling heavy.

 Inspired by ancient adornment and vintage artistry, these striking earrings radiate warmth, mystery, and bold elegance. This pair is one-of-a-kind. Once it sells, that particular pairing of stone and silver and gold does not happen again.

FAQ

Are these true stud earrings?
Yes. They sit on posts with friction backs, so they wear like a classic stud while looking like nothing else in your jewelry box.

Are they really one of a kind?
Yes. There is exactly one pair. Once they are gone, Michael Jensen will not be making this exact combination of garnet, silver, and gold again.

Why mix oxidized silver with yellow gold?
The dark, textured silver gives the gold and the garnets something to push against. Without that contrast, the warm tones would read as a lot softer and a lot less interesting.

Will the color match exactly what I see on screen?
Spessartite garnet has a lot of fire in it, and screens do not always know what to do with that. In person, expect the same warm orange glow, just with more depth.
