Beautiful shades of blue and violet, with all the texture and character of natural, unpolished Tanzanite. These raw gemstone stud earrings are simply wire wrapped in your choice of 14k Gold Filled or Sterling Silver, letting the unusual color and organic shape of each stone take center stage.
Some Tanzanite crystals are slightly elongated, others wider or more angular. Each pair is selected to complement one another while retaining the individual character of the natural stones.
A small but distinctive gemstone stud for anyone who appreciates jewelry that's a little less polished.
✦ THE DETAILS ✦
• Genuine natural raw Tanzanite gemstones
• Unpolished, irregular gemstone shapes
• Hand wire-wrapped stud earrings
• Choice of 14k Gold Filled or Sterling Silver
• Approximately 9 x 6 mm
• Sold as one pair
• Natural variations in color, shape, and texture
✦ SIZE & NATURAL VARIATIONS ✦
Raw Tanzanite gemstones measure approximately 9 x 6 mm, although individual stones may be slightly larger or smaller.
Because these are natural, unpolished gemstones, no two will be exactly alike. Your earrings will be paired for a complementary look rather than perfect symmetry.
If you prefer a particular size, shape, or color, please contact me before ordering to discuss available stones.
✦ ABOUT TANZANITE ✦
Tanzanite is a rare variety of the mineral zoisite, found commercially in a small region of northern Tanzania near Mount Kilimanjaro.
Known for its distinctive blue-to-violet coloring, Tanzanite can show different tones depending on the direction of the light and the orientation of the crystal.
Tanzanite is also a recognized December birthstone, making these earrings a thoughtful choice for a December birthday.
✦ PACKAGING & GIFTING ✦
Your earrings will be carefully packaged in a branded sueded jewelry bag, suitable for storage, travel, or gifting.
A gift box is also available upon request. Please leave a note at checkout with your packaging preference.
✦ GOLD FILLED & STERLING SILVER ✦
**14k Gold Filled**
14k Gold Filled contains 1/20th, or 5%, 14k gold by weight, mechanically bonded to a base metal. Its substantial layer of real gold is more durable than conventional gold plating when properly cared for.
**Sterling Silver**
Sterling Silver contains 92.5% pure silver. It is a durable precious metal that can be polished periodically to maintain its shine.
To help preserve your earrings, avoid prolonged exposure to water, perfumes, lotions, and harsh chemicals. Raw Tanzanite should be handled gently to protect its natural surfaces and edges.
Store your jewelry in a dry place when not being worn.

Geodes - Druzy- Crystals - Raw Gemstones
All geodes, druzy, crystals, and raw gems are unique and one of a kind. I do my best to pair them based on color or size. With that being said, when you order a pair of earrings they will NOT be identical. (Think sisters, not twins) This is what I find interesting and beautiful about these earrings. Geode slices are delicate. Take care not to drop them on hard surfaces and they will last for years to come.
Raw Gemstones - Each one is unique in size, color, texture, and shape. I take great care to select stones that work well in each piece of jewelry.
If you have your heart set on something specific please reach out to me before purchasing. Please refer to the listing for the general size and color descriptions.
