Cool mystery meets bright energy. The most sophisticated pairing in the collection.
A 6mm round tanzanite in deep violet-blue anchors the ear while a pear-shaped peridot drops below at approximately 15mm. The tanzanite is one of the rarest gemstones in the collection, its cool violet-blue depth shifting between purple and blue depending on the light. The peridot below it is its complete opposite in temperature and energy, bright and fresh and completely alive.
The pairing creates a tension that resolves itself the longer you look at it. The cool depth of the tanzanite needs the peridot's energy to come alive. The peridot needs the tanzanite's mystery to be more than just a green stone.
For the woman who has moved past obvious colour choices and into something more interesting. She'll know this pairing is right the moment she sees it.
