Silver Iolite stud earrings

Discover the captivating beauty of iolite with these elegant sterling silver stud earrings. Each earring features a genuine 4mm iolite gemstone in a classic four-claw setting, showcasing the stone's mesmerising purply-blue hues that shift and shimmer with the light.

Iolite is a truly enchanting gemstone, often called the "water sapphire" or "Viking's compass" due to its beautiful blue-violet colour and historical use as a navigation tool. The purply-blue tones range from soft lavender to deep indigo, creating depth and visual interest that changes depending on the angle and lighting.

Each 4mm iolite is carefully selected for quality and colour, then securely set in a traditional four-claw setting that allows maximum light to enter the stone, enhancing its natural brilliance and pleochroic properties. The claw setting also creates an elegant, classic look that has remained timelessly popular.

Handcrafted from sterling silver in my UK studio, these studs showcase quality craftsmanship and attention to detail. The secure sterling silver posts and butterfly fittings ensure comfortable, worry-free wear throughout the day, whilst the solid silver construction guarantees lasting beauty.

Measuring 4mm, these perfectly proportioned studs offer elegant presence without being overwhelming. They're substantial enough to showcase the beautiful iolite colour yet dainty enough for comfortable everyday wear and easy layering with other earrings.

The sophisticated purply-blue colour of iolite makes these studs incredibly versatile - they complement both cool and warm tones beautifully, working with everything from casual denim to elegant evening wear. The unique colour adds a subtle pop of interest without being too bold.

Iolite is believed to promote inner vision, clarity, and self-discovery, making these earrings not only beautiful but meaningful. It's also the traditional gemstone for 21st wedding anniversaries.

Perfect for those who appreciate genuine gemstones, unique colours, or simply want elegant, versatile studs that offer something a little different from the ordinary.
