Vintage Tanzanite and Pearl Pendant Necklace 2.00tcw 14kt White Gold
Gold Gemstone Jewelry
These Oval Tanzanite and Diamond Drop Earrings combine natural oval-cut tanzanite with G/H diamond accents across an elongated drop silhouette in 14kt white gold, totalling 2.00 carats across the pair. The earrings measure 1.00 by 0.30 inches each, taller than wide, the drop format gives the earrings clear vertical presence without the cross-ear width of a halo or cluster design. Stud butterfly backs secure the earrings, butterfly backs offer slightly more secure hold than friction push backs and are the standard for drop earrings of this scale. White gold is the conventional metal choice for tanzanite, the cool silvery tone amplifies the stone's blue-violet trichroic axis.
The earrings feature natural oval-cut tanzanites from Tanzania with G/H natural diamond accents. Oval cuts are one of the more common shapes for tanzanite because the elongated outline showcases the stone's trichroism along the length of the cut, the same stone displays blue, violet, and burgundy from different viewing angles, and the longer axis of an oval cut gives those colour shifts more visual room to develop. In a white gold setting, the cool metal tone supports tanzanite's blue-violet axis, producing the saturated cool-toned colour most buyers associate with fine tanzanite. Total tanzanite + diamond weight is 2.00 carats across the pair. Tanzanite is Mohs 6.5-7 hardness.
The 14kt white gold setting (585 purity) is fabricated as an elongated drop, taller than wide (1.00 by 0.30 inches), with the oval tanzanite centres positioned vertically and the diamond accents arranged along the drop length. The drop format produces clear vertical face-up presence on the ear, an alternative to round-halo studs (which are symmetric and sit close to the ear) or cluster studs (which read wider). Stud butterfly backs are slightly more secure than friction push backs, particularly useful for drop earrings where the weight pulls slightly forward.
Tanzanite earrings break broadly into two categories: stud format (compact, sits close to the ear, examples: round halo, pear halo, simple solitaire) and drop format (elongated, hangs slightly below the ear, examples: oval drop, pear drop, dangle). Both work as daily-wear and dressy options, the choice is silhouette preference. Drop tanzanite earrings like this 2.00tcw pair read as more dressy and statement-oriented, well-suited for cocktail or formal occasions but also wearable for everyday. The stud format (see our Round and Pear Tanzanite Halo Stud Earrings) reads more conservative and daily-friendly. Both are common in fine tanzanite jewelry.
Drop earrings, more accurately, oval-shape drop studs. The earrings have a stud post and butterfly back like a stud earring, but the visible portion is elongated (1.00 inch tall) like a drop. They sit close to the ear at the top but extend downward, halfway between a halo stud and a full dangle drop earring.
Yes. The oval centre tanzanites are natural mined stones from Tanzania. Heat treatment is standard for tanzanite and is industry norm.
These oval drops (1.00'' x 0.30'') sit longer on the ear than the round halo studs (0.31'' x 0.31'') or pear halo studs. The drop format reads more dressy and statement, the halo studs read more daily and conservative. All three are tanzanite earrings in 14kt white gold, the choice is silhouette preference and price tier (drops are larger, halo studs are more compact).
Yes. The diamond accents are natural mined stones in G/H colour and SI1/SI2 clarity.
Yes. Butterfly backs are a standard secure earring back style, more reliable than friction push backs for drop earrings where the weight can pull slightly forward. They twist on and off cleanly without requiring tools.
