9CT GOLD CHECKERBOARD CUT BLUE TOPAZ DROP EARRINGS
Christine Alexander Fine Jewellery
Get ready to rock some elegant vibes with these stunning, handcrafted drop earrings featuring faceted blue topaz gemstones. These little treasures are bedazzled in 9ct gold semi-precious stones, and nestled snugly in polished rub-over settings that amp up their charm. And when it comes to wearing them, no fuss – they easily hook on with French hooks.
Let's talk specifics: that round checkerboard-cut stone boasts a 7mm diameter, and from the tippy-top of the wire to the bottom, these earrings measure a graceful 22.5mm.
You've got options here, loves. There are pairs of matching stud earrings, a glorious long station necklace and even a bracelet and pendant necklace waiting in the wings. And if you fancy a different gemstone vibe, I've got Blue Chalcedony, Prasiolite, Moonstone and Labradorite in the same design.
Now, a little insider info: every raw gemstone I lay my hands on is cherry-picked for its one-of-a-kind character, quality, color, and sheer originality.
And guess what? You can even go the extra mile with luxury gift wrapping if you're planning to gift these beauties to someone special.
But here's a fun fact to top it all off: back in the day, before the 1950s, topaz came in a golden yellow to a peachy orange hue. This beauty was known as Precious Topaz. To make things even more interesting, the term "Topazio" in Brazilian Portuguese means "yellow gem." Talk about confusing! But wait, there's more. Blue used to be a rare sight in topaz, but thanks to advancements in colour treatments, we now have three dazzling shades: Sky Blue, Swiss Blue, and London Blue. These particular drops? They're Sky Blue, the lightest shade of Blue Topaz (20 to 30% tone), and when they're crystal clear, they can give even Aquamarine a run for its money. 💙✨
Shipping: The Glamorous World of Parcel Patience
Alright, my fellow sparkle enthusiasts, let's talk dispatch and delivery. Picture this: I’m a one-woman powerhouse, working tirelessly to bring you the finest jewellery. I aim to dispatch your glittering goodies the same day (because I'm just that efficient). But here's the kicker—being a boutique operation, my stock is as limited as my patience for non-sparkly things. Most of my treasures are shipped from my legion of talented smiths and suppliers to me on order.
UK Domestic Shipping: Fast but Fashionably Late
For my lovely UK-based customers, your sparkles will typically waltz their way to you in about 5-7 business days. Quick, but not quite instant gratification. I’m not Amazon! Think of it as joyous anticipation before the big reveal!
International Shipping: The Waiting Game
For my fabulous international friends, I need you to channel your inner zen master. Shipping times can vary wildly, anywhere from 5 to 30 business days. Why? Because customs clearance is a thing. Patience, darling. Good things (and sparkly ones) come to those who wait.
The delivery time cannot be guaranteed during the Holiday season, Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and at high-demand times. Any further delay at the destination countries is beyond my control. Buyers are responsible for any duties, customs charges, or VAT taxes that may occur.
Out of Stock? Not Out of Luck!
If the piece you’ve fallen in love with is out of stock, don’t fret! It’s available for order with a lead time of 4-10 weeks, depending on which of my brilliant suppliers is crafting your new favourite accessory. Just drop me a line about your heart's desire, and I’ll do my absolute best to meet your needs.
So, there you have it. Whether you’re waiting a few days or a few weeks, remember: great things (and truly fabulous jewellery) take time. Now, who’s ready to add a bit of sparkle to their life?
