Kashgar Garnet Crescent Moon Stud Earrings

These are unusual garnet gemstone drops. They are Kashgar garnet beads.

Discovered in Northern China, this semitranslucent to opaque garnet material is named after the famous city of Kashgar, known as the Oasis City along the "Silk Road" trading route that links Asia from east to west.

The gemstones measure 18mm in height and are polished to a beautiful shine. They are attached to antique silver tone crescent moon ear studs.

Total length of the earrings (from top of the crescent moon) is 4cm.
