FAQs

Tanzanite was discovered in Tanzania in the late 1960s and quickly gained popularity in fine jewellery due to its distinct trichroic violet-blue colour.

Vintage gold earrings are typically crafted from 9ct or 14ct yellow gold, often featuring secure hook or lever-back mechanisms and hand-set gemstones.

Authentic pieces often feature official hallmarks indicating gold purity and show subtle signs of age, while genuine tanzanite displays characteristic pleochroism shifting between blue, violet, and burgundy.

These earrings can be paired with minimalist evening wear to let the violet gemstones stand out, or combined with stacked gold chains for an eclectic everyday look.

Tanzanite should be cleaned gently using warm soapy water and a soft cloth, avoiding ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemicals to protect the gemstone and gold setting.
