Aril — Garnet Dangle Earrings hang three short strands of free-form garnet from a small huggie hoop. The word garnet comes from the Latin for pomegranate, and these stones show why: uncut, slightly irregular, and deep red, they hang like seeds just freed from the fruit.
Each stone is linked by hand with wire, so the strands move independently and catch light as they turn. Because the garnets are free-form, no two strands fall exactly alike, and each pair keeps a loose, natural rhythm rather than a uniform line.
The hoop sits close to the lobe and closes with a hinged click, keeping the weight of the strands balanced and secure.

Care Instructions: Put the earrings on after perfume, lotion, and hairspray. Wipe the stones with a soft dry cloth after wearing. Store flat on their own so the strands don’t tangle. Remove before swimming, showering, or exercise.
Styling Notes: The deep red reads warm against cream, camel, and black, which makes Aril an easy choice through the colder months. Wear it with hair pulled back so the strands can move. Wears well with Cranberry.
