Tanzanite and Topaz Earrings
These earrings were designed using tiny 4mm and 2mm Tanzanite and 2mm Topaz gemstones, 11/0 Miyuki galvanised silver seed beads, and 925 sterling silver shepherd hooks.
The perfect gift for a loved one or as a well-deserved treat for yourself.
The gemstones I use are ethically sourced and hand-cut, so there may be slight differences in colour, size and inclusions within each stone.
Tanzanite, one of the birthstones for December, is one of the rarest gemstones. Found in only one location in the world, Tanzania, Africa, it is the blue variety of Zoisite. Tanzanite is trichroic, meaning three different colours can be seen when looking at the gem from various angles: blue, violet and pink.
Topaz, one of the birthstones for November, comes in a wide variety of colours. It can be found in yellow, brownish-yellow, brown, green, blue, light blue, red, pink, and colourless forms. It has long been known as a powerful magnetic stone that attracts love and fortune. It has been mentioned in the Bible and is one of the gemstones adorning the twelve holy gates of Jerusalem.
