Tourmaline Blue-Green Faceted Crystal Sterling Silver Stud Earrings

*Tourmaline—the alternate birthstone for October*

This is a pair of very small raw faceted stud earrings--please read dimensions and examine scale photos carefully! This is a pair of unique polished blue-green tourmaline gems, which are held in sterling silver prongs. The shade of green is unique and varies slightly between both studs, a common occurrence with tourmaline. The blue-toned mossy green stud earrings have a gemmy and pleasing appearance—they’re vibrant and a great value. The earrings are sold alone--they would look ideal as a set from our Tourmaline collection, many of which are not yet on the website. Contact us if you would like help putting a set together!

Dimensions: 0.31” x 0.25” (9mm x 7mm)

Care for gemstones in sterling silver jewelry: 

As with all natural stones set in silver, these jewelry pieces should be removed when taking a shower, swimming, or entering a hot springs. Water (especially hot water) can damage natural materials and even cause settings to fail. This is especially true with gemstone rings!

*Though many gems and minerals have historical and cultural associations with healing properties, these items are sold for wear in jewelry, display, study, and collector interest only.
