Tanzanite Argentium Sterling Silver Earrings

Tanzanite.
Discovered in Tanzania around 1967. It was a Maasai tribesman who first shared his blue-violet crystal find with Manuel de Souza (a tailor by profession and prospector by passion), who was searching for rubies in the region. At first, the stones were thought to be unusually vibrant sapphires – yet they were more complex than a sapphire, their color more exotic. Manuel de Souza had no idea he’d encountered a gemstone the world had never seen, one that still remained unnamed.
New York’s celebrated jewelers Tiffany & Co. heard about the new precious stone discovery in Tanzania and were the first to bring this dazzling gemstone to the world. Christening the new find “tanzanite” after its country of origin, Tiffany declared it to be “the most beautiful blue stone to be discovered in 2,000 years.”
The low dome rose cut gemstones with a back window cutout in the silver makes for very lightweight earrings.

Why Argentium Sterling Silver?
Purer:
Argentium sets new purity standards for silver. Argentium is always purer than traditional sterling silver.
Natural Beauty:
Plating is prone to wear and tear and is commonly used on silver items to give the temporary illusion of purity. Argentium is the natural color of pure silver through and through.
Brighter:
Argentium silver is brighter than platinum, white gold and traditional sterling silver. It is the whitest of them all.
Longer lasting shine:
Argentium silver is low maintenance, easy to care for and simple to keep clean.
Responsible:
Argentium guarantees traceability of its raw silver. It is certified that Argentium is produced using only recycled silver.
