White Gold Iolite Earrings by Tony Rodrigues

Earrings are the essential finishing touch to everything you wear. At Gemvara, we believe that your earrings should be as unique as you. All our stylish earrings are made to order in your choice of gems and precious metals. Choose quartz and palladium or tanzanite and platinum: it's your choice. Mix and match gems and precious metals for a look that's exactly you. It's jewelry for all life's occasions, from an anniversary or Valentine's Day to your own personal milestones and celebrations. Gemvara uses only the highest quality materials to craft your white gold iolite earrings with meticulous attention to detail. Iolite resonates with the steely blue of the ocean at dawn. Our precious metals are recycled or responsibly mined. Lustrous 14k white gold is bright and eye-catching in any design. We also offer every style in premium 18 karat white gold, which has the added luxury of higher gold content. The final finishing touch to all Gemvara's white gold jewelry is plating with rhodium, a platinum group metal, for an extra bright white finish. Our wide selection of white gold iolite earrings by Ji Hwang, David West, Martha Gomez Gutierrez, and other talented designers means you can find earrings that are exactly your style. You can choose your favorite earring backs too. Gemvara's fine quality white gold iolite earrings are designed to be passed down for generations to come, crafted by hand in the United States.

Tony Rodrigues is a classically trained master goldsmith but his passion is jewelry design. In addition to jewelry, his distinguished design commissions include Olympic Gold Medals, a set of custom designed "Diablo" cufflinks for the head of Lamborghini, and a reliquary for a Vatican-certified piece of the cross of the crucifixion. Formerly the Midwest director of jewelry repair and design for Nordstom's, he is now the owner of his own design gallery. A master of line and proportion, Tony's designs often feature graceful, elegant curves that make them as feminine as they are modern for the woman who is both.

Exploration is the meaning attached to the iolite gemstone. This term comes from the tale of Leif Eriksson. When he and other legendary Viking explores ventured into the Atlantic searching for the new world, they used a naturally polarizing iolite lens to determine the exact position of the sun in order to navigate safely. This technique was made possible due to iolite's plechoism: its ability to display a different color for each different direction. It is violet blue from one angle, clear as water from another and a honey yellow from the top. This characteristic makes it difficult to cut an iolite because in the wrong shape, iolite's color will not be properly displayed. The color of an iolite is its most important value factor: the more pure and saturated the blue, the more valuable the iolite is. Historically called the "water sapphire," an iolite is a charming, blue gem with a steely hue that resembles the color of the ocean at dawn. Iolite is the gem of the 21st anniversary. All Gemvara jewelry is made to order, which ensures that a premium-quality iolite will be hand-selected to perfectly suit your design. Crafted in the United States, Gemvara's fine iolite jewelry is precious and personal, surely to be passed down for generations to come.
