- Is tanzanite durable enough for regular wear?
- Tanzanite ranks about 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, softer than diamond, sapphire or ruby. It handles occasional wear well but chips more easily, so save these for dressy occasions and avoid knocks.
- How should I clean tanzanite and diamond earrings?
- Use lukewarm water with a drop of mild soap and a soft brush, then dry with a lint-free cloth. Skip ultrasonic and steam cleaners, which can damage tanzanite.
- What does 1.03 TCW mean here?
- TCW is total carat weight, the combined weight of all tanzanite and diamonds in the pair. It describes the stones together, not one stone.
- How do these compare with diamond drop earrings?
- Diamonds are harder and more neutral in color. These trade some durability for tanzanite's rare violet-blue, which few diamond drops offer.
- What is two-tone gold in these earrings?
- The setting combines 14K yellow gold and 14K white gold. The white gold around the diamonds keeps them looking bright, while the yellow gold frames the tanzanite.
- Are these a good gift?
- Tanzanite is a December birthstone, so they suit a birthday or anniversary gift for someone who likes colored gemstones. Confirm the recipient's metal preference first, since two-tone is a distinct look.
