Expensive Tastes

I love these diamond earrings I found on sale at Amazon, a little more affordable than the diamonds I previously spoke about and funnily enough my favorite this time is actually the least expensive, the Tanzanite and Diamond Earrings – a snip at under $15,000.

If you’re wondering about the tanzanite, its a beautiful crystal gemstone from Tanzania in Africa, the only place it seems to occur. First discovered in the 60′s, it has a sensational blue color with a hint of purple on larger stones. Cutters say it is difficult to work with so that fact combined with its single origin makes it a very desirable stone. If you are lucky enough to own it remember its not a very hard stone so don’t use acid based cleaners or ultrasonic cleaning.
