Rough ruby earrings in sterling silver, prong hugged, July birthstone, bright pink post earrings

This listing is for one pair of earrings with a pair of rugged rough ruby gems. The soft and silky purple color of the tanzanites is gorgeous and I love the contrast with the rough texture of the gemstone. They have been prong set (or hugged) in a pair of handmade settings.

I have used natural gemstones that have not been cut or treated, so there are inclusions and fractures present. I love these imperfections and if you do too, these are the earrings for you! Tanzanite is a rare and valuable gemstone. The blue and purple hues of tanzanite are associated with generosity and friendship thus making it the perfect gift.

You will receive the exact pair from the pictures. They measure 6.5 x7 mm and 6.5 x 8 mm.

These unique earrings come gift wrapped and with both sterling silver and silicone ear nuts. I ship via registered air mail with a tracking number.

Tanzanite was discovered in 1967, and named after the East African state of Tanzania where the only deposit of this gemstone has been found. The legendary New York jewelers Tiffany & Co were the first to promote tanzanite as a fine gemstone. Although only recently formally discovered, the Masai tribe members traditionally give tanzanite to their newborn children as a bearer of good fortune. It is said that Tanzanite helps to relax and slow down intense individuals who deal with pressure on a regular basis, allowing them to lead less stressful, more productive, healthier lives. It can calm ones mind. This keeps them more organized and sensitive to others around them. Tanzanite acts as an elixir to the soul; elevating one's mood and freeing one from negative patterns and creating space for new patterns to be integrated. Tanzanite is also an important communication stone, giving one the ability to speak the truth. It assists in manifesting your own self rather than being influenced by others or trying to conform to the norm.

Tanzanite is an alternative birthstone for December.
