Gilded age beauties! These elegant drop earrings featuring beautiful violet tanzanite cabochon as their centerpiece. The oval cabochons display natural variations and inclusions that add character and depth to the stones. The stones are surrounded by halos of small diamonds that are set in blackened sterling silver. This darker metal setting creates a striking contrast against the bright violet centers and sparkling stones, giving the earrings a vintage or antique-inspired aesthetic. The earrings hang from simple wire hooks and feature an additional small loop at the bottom of each setting, for potentially to be used as connectors for layering with other jewelry elements or charms. The overall design is classic yet distinctive, with the oxidized silver setting providing a more dramatic and sophisticated look than traditional bright silver would offer. The combination of the vibrant violet stones with the sparkling halo and the darker metal creates earrings that would work well for both daytime elegance and evening occasions. 3.55cttw tanzanite and diamonds, sterling silver, black rhodium plating
