These exquisite 9ct white gold drop earrings showcase a pair of stunning pear-shaped tanzanites, totalling 1.10 carats, each cradled in a delicate halo of brilliant-cut diamonds.

FAQ
Q: What is tanzanite and why is it special?
A: Tanzanite is one of the rarest gemstones in the world, found exclusively in a small area near Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. It's prized for its remarkable blue-violet colour and pleochroism, meaning it can display different colours when viewed from different angles. Tanzanite is also the birthstone for December, making these earrings a particularly meaningful gift for December birthdays.
Q: How should I care for my tanzanite earrings?
A: Tanzanite is a relatively soft gemstone (6-7 on the Mohs scale), so it requires gentle care. Remove your earrings before exercising, cleaning, or swimming. Clean them with warm soapy water and a soft brush, then dry with a lint-free cloth. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemicals. Store your earrings separately in a soft pouch to prevent scratching.
Q: Are these earrings suitable for everyday wear?
A: While these earrings are beautifully crafted and durable, tanzanite is best suited for occasional wear rather than daily use due to its relative softness. They're perfect for special occasions, evenings out, celebrations, or any time you want to add a touch of luxury to your look. With proper care, they'll remain stunning for generations.
Q: Can I have these earrings resized or modified?
A: As drop earrings with a fixed post-and-butterfly back, these pieces don't require sizing like rings do. However, if you'd like to customise the design or create a matching set with a pendant or ring, our in-house jewellery manufacturing team can help. Visit our boutique to discuss bespoke design options.
Q: Do you offer gift wrapping for these earrings?
A: Absolutely. All jewellery from Cassim & Co. is presented in elegant packaging, perfect for gifting. Whether you're celebrating a birthday, anniversary, graduation, or any special milestone, these tanzanite earrings arrive beautifully presented and ready to delight.
Q: Is nationwide delivery available?
A: Yes, we offer secure nationwide delivery throughout South Africa. Your earrings will be carefully packaged and fully insured during transit. Alternatively, you're welcome to collect your purchase in person from our Mall of the South boutique in Johannesburg.
Q: What is the difference between 9ct and 18ct white gold?
A: The number indicates the proportion of pure gold in the alloy. 9ct white gold contains 37.5% pure gold mixed with other metals for strength and colour, while 18ct contains 75% pure gold. Both are durable and beautiful; 9ct offers excellent value and is slightly harder, making it ideal for everyday jewellery. The white gold colour comes from the alloy blend and is often rhodium-plated for extra brilliance.

Care Guide
- Remove your earrings before exercising, showering, swimming, or applying cosmetics, perfumes, and hairspray.
- Clean gently with warm soapy water and a soft-bristled brush. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a lint-free cloth.
- Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, steam cleaning, and harsh chemicals, as tanzanite is sensitive to heat and sudden temperature changes.
- Store your earrings separately in a soft jewellery pouch or lined box to prevent scratching from harder gemstones.
- Have your earrings professionally inspected annually to ensure the settings are secure and the posts and backs are in good condition.
- White gold may be rhodium-plated for extra shine and lustre. Over time, this plating may wear. We offer professional re-plating services to restore the original brilliance.
- Tanzanite can fade if exposed to prolonged direct sunlight or extreme heat. Store in a cool, dark place when not wearing.
- Handle your earrings with care, as tanzanite has perfect cleavage and can chip if struck sharply. Put them on last when dressing and remove them first when undressing.
