Delicate, elegant fleurs-de-lis adorn gold plated brass ear wires that hold tiny, richly colored Mozambique garnets, about the size of large apple seeds. The semi-precious January birthstones are a deep, dark red with a touch of brown (the picture of the earrings lying down is the closest to the true color). Very lightweight, and just .75 inches long. Comes to you in a lovely little gift box with complimentary rubber ear nuts to keep them secure!
