Before you choose
Anything over 5 grams a side pulls by evening. Our drops are hollow-fabricated to stay light; studs sit under 2 grams.
Warm stones, citrine, garnet, morganite, flatter warm undertones; blues and greys cool ones. Every pair ships with a 30-day daylight trial.
If it is a first fine pair, studs get worn ten times more often. Drops earn their place after.
Friction posts loosen; ours are threaded or locking French wire. Ask how a pair closes before you buy it.
The short answer
Teal Montana sapphire hoops earrings are made to commission at Made With Color: one artist, one bench, in New York. Ask and we will pull stones in daylight and send passports before you decide. The oldest earring shape on record, worn on every continent for four thousand years.
Dug in Montana, teal like river water over slate. We choose every stone loose, in daylight, and every work above carries a passport that says exactly what it is.
Diameter decides everything: 12 to 15 mm disappears into daily life, 25 mm and up is a decision.
Teal Montana sapphire is 9 / 10 on the Mohs scale. Hard enough for daily wear in any setting, including rings.
Studs sit close and suit every day; drops move and suit evenings; hoops split the difference.
Match the scale to the wearer. A 5 mm stone reads quiet, 8 mm reads deliberate.
Small hinged hoops, yes, including in the shower. Large or stone-set hoops want taking off at night; the hinge is jewelry, not hardware.
Teal Montana sapphire is 9 / 10 on the Mohs scale. Earrings live the easiest life of any jewel, so softer stones like opal and pearl are safe here.
Teal Montana sapphire is the Sep birthstone and the traditional stone of the 5th anniversary. We set it for both, and for no occasion at all.
Untreated unless the passport says otherwise. When a stone of ours is heated or grown in a lab, the passport says so in that word, in the same type size as everything else, and the price reflects it.
Hinged backs outlast wire hoops tenfold. Sleep in huggies if you must, never in large hoops.
Ready-now works leave the studio within two business days, insured and signed for. Made to order pieces state their bench time on the page, most within three to four weeks.
