Cabochon Tanzanite and Sapphire Halo Stud Earrings 14kt Yellow Gold

These Cabochon Tanzanite and Sapphire Halo Stud Earrings pair natural cabochon-cut tanzanite centres with surrounding natural sapphire halos in 14kt yellow gold, finished with a high-polish surface and secured with push backs. The earrings measure 0.30 by 0.30 inches each, sized as substantial studs (larger than dainty everyday studs but smaller than statement drops). The cabochon cut on the centre tanzanites is unusual for tanzanite jewelry, most tanzanite is faceted to maximise sparkle and trichroism, the cabochon (smooth-domed) cut instead emphasises depth of colour and produces a more old-world, antique-influenced look. As a custom order, these earrings are produced to specific specifications and are non-refundable.

About the Tanzanite and Sapphire

The centre stones are natural cabochon-cut tanzanites from Tanzania. Cabochon cuts are smooth-domed (no faceting on the top surface), the cut style emphasises colour saturation and depth rather than sparkle, producing a softer more antique-influenced visual. Tanzanite cabochons are unusual in fine jewelry, most tanzanite is faceted to maximise the stone's trichroism (the three-colour effect that defines tanzanite). Cabochon-cut tanzanite reads as colour-forward rather than sparkle-forward. The sapphire halo stones are natural mined corundum, providing crisp blue accents around the centre tanzanite cabochons. Tanzanite is Mohs 6.5-7, sapphire is Mohs 9.

About the Setting

The 14kt yellow gold setting (585 purity) is fabricated as a halo around each centre cabochon, with sapphire accents prong-set in a circle. The 0.30 by 0.30 inch earring size places these in the substantial-stud category, larger than minimalist daily-wear studs (typically 0.20 inches and below) but well below drop-earring scale. Push backs secure the earrings, push backs are the standard secure post-and-back configuration for fine-jewelry studs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the tanzanite natural?

Yes. The cabochon centre stones are natural mined tanzanites from Tanzania. Heat treatment is standard for tanzanite, these stones are treated per industry norms but are not synthetic or simulant.

What is a cabochon cut?

A cabochon cut is a smooth-domed cut style with no facets on the top surface. Cabochon cuts are common for opaque stones (turquoise, opal, lapis lazuli) but less common for transparent stones like tanzanite, where faceting is typically preferred to maximise sparkle. Cabochon-cut tanzanite reads as colour-forward (emphasising the saturated colour of the stone) rather than sparkle-forward.

Are the sapphire halos natural?

Yes. The sapphire accent stones are natural mined corundum.

Why is this non-refundable?

These earrings are custom-order pieces, fabricated to specific specifications after the order is placed. Custom orders are not part of an inventory line and cannot be re-sold easily, this is the industry standard reason custom-order pieces are offered final-sale.

How long does production take?

Production typically takes 10 business days from order to completion, after which we'll ship the earrings or contact you for in-store pickup at our Astoria showroom.
