Bogatá, Medillin and Cali are known as Colombia’s “Urban Triangle” because they are the nation’s industrialized cities. Colombia is a significant producer of precious metals, including gold, silver and platinum.
One of two geological environments in Colombia, the Andean system, is located in the Circum-Pacific belt. This system comprises the western, central and eastern mountain ranges, the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta and the Serrania de la Alta Guajira, of Colombia. Here, a high potential for mineral extraction exists. Garnets are one of the valuable mainstays that are mined here.
These garnet triangle earrings measure approximately 1.5 inches.

Garnets can be cleaned with warm soapy water and a soft brush but they should be rinsed well. Exposure to harsh temperatures, chemicals and sharp blows should be avoided.
Sterling silver should be stored in an airtight container with a soft lining. Cleaning with soap and water and buffing with a soft cloth will keep your sterling silver shiny as new. Avoid exposure of your sterling silver to abrasive cleansers and bleach, which may cause discoloration.
