Tanzanite earrings are a popular choice for gemstone earrings because the color is a pretty violet that is a bit more feminine than the inky dark sapphire. the color goes well with casual wear whether it be with denims or brief summer dresses. It is a playful color that invites all sorts of accessorizing and also goes well with every one’s favorite color black.
A tanzanite earring can be a simple stud whether round, trilliant or oval. Tanzanite studs are popular in the trilliant shape because they look so contemporary. In white gold they are quite the fashion statement and the ideal size for this tanzanite stud earring is usually the 5mm trilliant which has a combined weight of 0.75 to 0.80 carats per pair. Most sizes below this tend to be on the lighter side.
The darker colors are the more desirable colors in tanzanite as long as they are not tending towards the gray side of the spectrum. Tanzanite color can be dark and at the same time still desaturated, grayish and unattractive. These stones lack the color and sparkle of the brighter colored stones and will sell for a good deal less. Tanzanite white gold earrings are the most popular because the stone’s color shows up quite well against the white gold. Yellow gold tanzanite earrings also look good but not as dramatic as earrings in white gold.
Tanzanite and diamond earrings come in a variety of styles from the on ear type which is basically a stud with diamonds surrounding the stone. These are more formal and can be quite expensive since jewelers are careful to find only the best colored matched pairs for diamond earring mountings.
Tanzanite huggies are a good pick because they can be worn with formal and casual wear. They are not as casual as hoops and not as formal as diamond encrusted button earrings. They form a nice in between range that many women can wear for any occasion but they can also be made super formal if they are tanzanite diamond earrings with a particularly wide huggie profile with lots of bigger round diamonds.
Tanzanite drop earrings are some of the most dramatic earrings around because of the fact that tanzanite can be found in large sizes in almost perfectly matched pairs. Usually this type of earring starts out as a regular diamond dangle with prong or bezel set diamonds on a flexible link structure punctuated at the end by a fairly large tanzanite of a carat or more set in what would would look like a diamond jacket. So what happens is that this earring will swing and dangle a lot which is of course what you want. That way the tanzanite and diamonds catch the light and look spectacular. Tanzanite hoop earrings can also be dramatic but more than likely huggies will be a better option because tanzanite round stones of 5-10 points get extremely light in color to the point where they really don’t look like tanzanites any more when spread out over a hoop.
