This is an astonishing set of natural Art Deco 1920’s style Tanzanite and Diamond earrings set in polished platinum with paperwork. Tanzanite Is a very rare precious gemstone that is only found in the Usumburu Mountains that border the Umba Valley of northern Tanzania. Originally discovered in 1967 by Tiffany & Company who named the stone Tanzanite.

The solid platinum earrings feature a two fantastic pear modified brilliant cut with brilliant cut crown Tanzanite stones with a total weight of 4.70 carats and very high quality / clarity with beautiful transparent eye clean finish with Vivid Violet Blue color and rare pleochroism giving different changes of colors when moved having a very even color throughout. Surrounding the pear cut Tanzanite is a halo bezel being complete set with Diamonds and held by a cluster or diamond set links finishing in a post clasp which are also set with Diamonds. Overall, the set shows a total of 72 round brilliant cut Diamonds having a weight of 1.06 carats, VS2 to SI2 clarity and G-H color. The earrings come with an AIGL (American International Gemological Laboratories, Inc., a GIA Graduate) report and appraisal which values the ring at $15,527.00. Overall, the set weights 8.20 grams and has a stone weight of 5.76 carats.
