Mid 19th Century Garnet & Diamond Quatrefoil Earrings
A pair of Civil War era back-to-front garnet earrings with clover-shaped bezels on the rose cut diamonds. They're unmarked, but we believe they're French. The custom-built green velvet box has remained with the earrings for over 150 years, and together they'll stay.
