The pendant is designed as a vertical drop, so it always hangs straight and doesn't flip over. The pear-cut tanzanite catches the most light at its point, drawing the eye down the length of the chain and making the blue appear even deeper.
A fine cable chain holds a three-part pendant. At the bottom, a large, deep blue pear-cut tanzanite is held by three prongs. It hangs from two stacked shapes: a solid circle and a smaller, open teardrop. Both of these upper shapes are pavé-set with a total of 39 tiny round diamonds. The entire setting is polished white gold, which makes the blue of the tanzanite really stand out.
This necklace is made from solid 14k white gold, which is 58.3% pure gold mixed with alloys like palladium for strength and its silvery-white colour. This means it's strong enough to secure the settings but won't irritate sensitive skin. The main stone is a 2.4-carat tanzanite, a gemstone known for its deep blue-violet colour that can shift depending on the light. You can choose between a natural tanzanite or a lab-grown one, which has the exact same chemical and visual properties.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the tanzanite in my Eternal Ocean Drop Necklace look more purple in some light and more blue in others?
Tanzanite changes colour because of a property called pleochroism, which means it shows different colours when viewed from different angles or in different light sources. Your necklace will look more violet under incandescent light and a deeper blue in daylight. This is a natural characteristic of the gemstone.
Is it safe to shower while wearing my solid gold Eternal Ocean Drop Necklace?
Yes, you can shower with your solid gold necklace. Water won't harm 14k or 18k gold, diamonds, or tanzanite. However, soaps and shampoos can leave a film on the stones, dulling their sparkle over time. We recommend removing it before showering to keep it looking its best.
How will the 15.5-inch chain on the Eternal Ocean Drop Necklace fit on my neck?
A 15.5-inch chain typically rests just above or right at the collarbone on an average adult, creating a shorter, more modern look than a standard 18-inch necklace. We suggest measuring a piece of string to 15.5 inches and draping it around your neck to see exactly where it will fall on you.
