Large Tanzanite Studs

Natural gemstones, 6-8mm in size, set in copper.

Both the posts that go through the ear and the butterflies are made from hypoallergenic stainless steel, ensuring comfort and safety.

We use raw, unpolished gemstones, so you might notice some “imperfections”—but we believe these only enhance the unique beauty of each piece!

The studs are crafted through copper electroforming, a process where copper is deposited over several hours in a copper-acid solution. This organic method creates wonderfully unique textures, adding to the charm of each earring.

While copper can sometimes cause the skin to turn green due to a reaction with certain skin types, this isn’t harmful and can easily be prevented with a coat of clear nail polish

About Tanzanite:

As Tanzania is the place of origin and the only source of this beautiful blue rock, it was aptly named thereafter. Unlike nearly all of the world’s most popular gemstones, tanzanite was not discovered in commercial quantities until the 1960s. In the short time since then, the popularity of this gemstone has overtaken many other gemstones within the past century. This was accomplished mainly by Tiffany’s in New York’s promotion thereof in the 1960’s coupled with tanzanite’s beautiful blue colour. It is also recognised for its remarkably strong trichroism, meaning that it appears alternately as blue, violet or burgundy, depending on which way the crystal is viewed.

Birthstone: Because of its growing popularity, Tanzanite was designated as a modern birthstone for the month of December in 2002.

Anniversary stone: 24^th

Symbolism:  

Tanzanite is said to represent the heart and intellect, combined with intuition and purity. These stones are used as symbols of dignity, truth, judgement and longevity. They are also used to assist in many healing processes.
