18kt White Gold Sapphire Earrings

These 18-karat white gold earrings are set with natural sapphire.

Sapphire is the gem form of corundum, second only to diamond in hardness among the classic gemstones, which is why it wears so well in jewelry worn daily. The center stone comes from Sri Lanka, with its treatment disclosed plainly as on every listing.

Gold around a natural colored stone, the kind of piece given to mark something and worn long after the day it marked. Hand-finished and photographed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
