Toi et Moi Gemstone Heirloom Earring - Pink Tourmaline & Amethyst

About this find

The Toi et Moi Gemstone Heirloom Earring pairs pink tourmaline with amethyst in one design. The setting is 14k yellow gold, and the listing is for a single earring, not a pair. Toi et Moi means "you and me," and here it shows up as two colors resting together, soft pink beside deep purple.

The upper stone is a pear-shaped faceted cut held with prongs, so it has a rounded curve at the top and a gentle point. Below it sits a rectangular emerald-cut faceted stone, secured by four corner prongs. One stone is softly curved and the other has clean straight edges, which makes the pairing interesting to look at.

The lower stone sits at an angle, offset from the pear-shaped stone above it. That tilt keeps the design from feeling stiff and gives it a lively, slightly off-center look. A small metal connection joins the two stones, so they read as one piece of jewelry instead of two separate gems placed near each other.

The yellow gold gives both gemstone colors a warm frame. Because you get one earring, you can wear it as a single statement piece. If you like a mixed look, pair it with a small plain gold stud in your other ear so the colorful stones stay the focus.
