Studs Tanzanite Earring 1.66 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight, 14K Rose Gold

This pair of stud earrings presents a carefully calibrated combination of tanzanite and diamond, set entirely in 14K rose gold by The Natural Gemstone Company. The center stones are a matched pair of heart shaped tanzanites with a total weight of 1.66 carat, each stone measuring approximately 6.03 by 6.05 by 3.89 mm. Each tanzanite is cut in a mixed brilliant style to balance table sparkle with internal fire, and exhibits a violetish blue hue with medium color saturation and an excellent polish. The clarity of each tanzanite has been evaluated as very very slightly included at eye level, presenting a clean face up appearance. These natural tanzanites are heat treated to enhance stability and tone, and are sourced from Tanzania. Encircling each heart is a halo of natural round white diamonds totaling approximately 0.32 carat, graded VS for clarity and F G for color, chosen to provide consistent white scintillation against the tanzanite centers and to complement the warm cast of 14K rose gold.

The precision of gemstone placement in these earrings reflects an intentional, gemological approach to mounting, beginning with a custom seat cut to the exact dimensions of each heart shaped tanzanite. The seat geometry is contoured to support the girdle at multiple points, maintaining the stone on a stable axis to prevent rocking and to preserve symmetrical light return. The tanzanites are secured with hand formed prongs that are proportioned to the heart silhouette, allowing maximum table exposure while protecting the delicate lobes and cleft of the heart. The halo diamonds are hand set in a closely calibrated arrangement, each round stone selected and positioned to maintain uniform bead height and consistent spacing so that the halo reads as a continuous rim of light. Attention to facet alignment and pavilion orientation ensures that the diamond facets interact predictably with the mixed brilliant surfaces of the tanzanites, minimizing visual interruptions and maximizing cohesive brilliance.

Final assembly and finish emphasize both longevity and aesthetic harmony. The 14K rose gold setting is precision soldered and meticulously finished to a high polish, with inner gallery work crafted to reduce weight without compromising structural integrity. Posts and friction backs are affixed and tested to industry standards to ensure secure wear over time. Every earring undergoes a multi point inspection by a gemologist at The Natural Gemstone Company, confirming carat weights, color relationships, clarity evaluations, and the stability of heat treatment for the tanzanites. Final quality checks include microscopic inspection of each setting point, gentle ultrasonic cleaning, and a hand buff to reconcile any minor variances in sheen. The result is a pair of heart shaped tanzanite and diamond studs that combine precise stone matching, careful seat engineering, and meticulous hand setting, presenting a balanced visual interaction between violetish blue color and white brilliance, set against the warm tone of rose gold.
