Estate 18K Gold 7 Carats Tanzanite and 1.50 Carats Diamond Dangle Earrings

Twenty tanzanite gemstones — eight pear cuts and twelve ovals — line these 18-karat gold dangle earrings from the 1990s, weighing approximately 7 carats total. The stones carry tanzanite's signature blue-violet color, which shifts with the angle of light due to the mineral's pleochroism. Round brilliant diamonds trace the outer edge of each drop in pavé, framing the tanzanite rows in sparkle. Tiered pear-shape drops at the base add movement, giving the pair a dramatic reach suited to evening wear.
