Brass hoop earrings set with cushion-cut garnets. Each earring hinges open opposite the stone. There is a large ring on one earring (missing on the other) for keeping the stone at the top of the loop when worn. There are small rings set beneath the stones on each earring, likely for attaching drops (now missing).
