Tanzanite Earrings, Solid Bronze

Tanzanite is a gorgeous gemstone. It was discovered in Tanzania in 1967 which means it's a relatively new gemstone. Most tanzanite is very expensive, faceted and set in gold.

Tanzanite in bead form is not very common and usually snapped up quickly.

The drops I have used for these earrings have a beautiful colour. They measure around 9mm in length.

Made to order earrings, natural gemstones will vary slightly in colour, size and shape.

I have wire wrapped the drops with solid bronze wire and attached to hand made solid bronze ear wires. The earwires are wire wrapped with thin wire, adding a small tansanite rondelle.

The earrings were then tumble polished and sealed with a special jewellery lacquer to preserve the shine and prevent premature tarnish.

Total length of the earrings is 25mm, they are not large earrings.
