Montana Sapphire Earrings in Gold, Silver, Platinum, or Palladium with Genuine Gems, 3mm Light Green- Free Gift Wrapping by jetflair
43,00 USD
Genuine Montana sapphire stud earrings in 14k white or yellow gold, platinum, palladium, or sterling silver. Ethically sourced gems and eco-friendly reclaimed precious metals combine in brilliant fine jewelry that will last. Almost all of these are a dance between shades of blue-green, gray-green, blue-gray, and so forth. They defy sorting properly, let alone photographing with accuracy. These I’ve categorized as light green. Some are a warmer green, while some are cooler in tone. Let me know if you prefer one over the other.
What I’m getting at is that when it comes to the exact shade, this is an inexact science in the extreme, and these are best ordered by a flexible person with a sense of humor.
Made with American gems, collected from the gravel bars and creek beds of Montana. They are genuine, corundum sapphire and one of my best selling gems. Most Montana sapphires are light shades of blue-green-grey, with occasional pinks, yellows, whites, and deeper blues. They have been heated to enhance the color and clarity of the gems.
These are priced according to quality and size, with more deeply saturated stones and brighter stones having a higher value. I got a great value on these by buying in quantity, and I’m sharing that with you in the form of special pricing on these beautiful all-American Montana sapphires.

Quality and Comfort
– ————
After I got my ears pierced, I went on a buying spree and purchased a ton of cute sparkly little post earrings. About six years later, only two pairs remain. What happened to all the others? They fell apart, peeled, turned green, and suffered other unattractive fates. Glues, plated metals, fake crystal “stones,” cheap enamels … .they all degrade sooner rather than later.
Now that I make my own jewelry, I have decided to make stud earrings that are beautiful, high quality, and will stand the test of time. They will cost a little more, but they’ll outlast 10 pairs of cheapies.
There is absolutely no glue or epoxy used in these; soldered construction and stones set using traditional metalsmithing techniques equal lasting durability. These are sturdy prong settings, not flimsy “snap-in” settings which hold the stones in prongs so thin you can literally bend them with your fingernail.
Sturdy, solid sterling silver clutches are made to grip the posts snugly, resulting in an earring that stays in your ear even if you lead an active lifestyle or sleep in your earrings. The posts are heavy-duty and slightly shorter than some, making them resistant to bending and comfortable to sleep in.

Genuine Gemstones
————-
I use only genuine gemstones, verified in my in-house gem lab. Samples are also sent to an independent Graduate Gemologist for review. I buy carefully to ensure ethically sourced gems, usually supporting very small businesses like my own.
Part of the thrill of a beautiful piece of jewelry is looking at the gem and marveling at the beauty produced by nature. Why waste your money on imitation gemstones when you can enjoy the beauty of the real thing?
I can also special order gemstones and diamonds if you do not see what you are looking for.

Gems are individual pieces of nature’s art and have minor variation in pattern, color, size, and shape. The actual stones may vary slightly from the picture, because unlike synthetic gems few of them are exactly alike. I do promise you’ll be happy with the gemstones you receive, and accept exchanges as well as notes with special requests like & quot; Prefer darker green over lighter & quot; which I will do my best to match within my stock of gems.
