The 14k Yellow Gold Orange and Tanzanite Cubic Zirconia Drop Earrings present a vibrant color display that will leave you reminiscing about warm summer days. Each fishhook backing showcases a drop earring design created by a circular orange tanzanite stone followed by a statement teardrop-shaped blue tanzanite stone that reveals a faceted finish with plenty of sparkle. The contrasting color combination, matched with the bold yellow gold trim infuses this pair with tropical design that makes them perfect for warm weather.
History
Known for its beautiful purple and blue hues that vary by light, Tanzanite has grown to become one of the most popular gem types. Discovered in 1967, its birthplace, Tanzania, inspired the gemstone name that is well-known today. Tanzanite still remains a precious gemstone, as it can only be found in small mines in the Merelani Hills, just north of Tanzania. Tanzanite has been named the modern birthstone for December.
Composition
Tanzanite is the blue variety of the gemstone zoisite. It is composed of calcium aluminum silicate. Compared to other gemstones, it is not particularly hard, thus it must be worn carefully.
Caring For Your Tanzanite Jewelry
Like all natural gemstones, Tanzanite can be damaged if not cared for properly. Clean with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth, drying after washing. Avoid scratches by storing separate from other jewelry. Avoid exposure to oils, perfumes, and chemicals that may affect the stone’s vivid color.
