14k Yellow Gold Tanzanite Leverback Earrings
Item #102516Earrings Description
Tanzanite Centers
The main portion of each earring is dominated by a cushion shaped checkerboard cut tanzanite that’s bezel set in 14k white gold. The two stones combined total 2 carats exactly, and they exhibit a rich yet delicate bluish-purple color that contrasts wonderfully with the silvery shine of the white gold.
Milgrain and Filigree
The top of the bezel settings surrounding the tanzanite are lined with double rows of milgrain beading, and this detail helps to reinforce the vintage themes already present in the set while also highlighting the elegant shape of the settings. Although they follow the contours of the stones for the most part, these settings curve outward in the middle of each straight side, forming points that hang at the compass positions when the earrings are worn.

This detail helps to give them a more delicate and organic feel, and the filigree baskets that wrap around the backs of the stones help to reinforce this feeling as well. The baskets also provide a connection point to the delicate findings above, and their openness ensures that plenty of light can reach the stones from all sides.
Customization Options
To put your personal mark on a set like this, you may want to choose a different type of stone for the center, or you could switch to rose or yellow gold to bring some classical warmth to the design. On the other hand, if you wanted to take things in a more contemporary direction, you could eliminate the milgrain and have the bezel setting follow the contours of the tanzanites more closely.
Customizing This Design
Any Joseph Jewelry item can be customized or used as the starting point for a new custom design. The gemstones, metal, proportions, setting style, surface details, and overall profile can be adjusted to better match your preferences, style, and budget.
Every custom piece begins with a conversation about what you want to create and what matters most to you. You work one-on-one with a designer to refine the concept, review the design direction, and create a detailed 3D CAD image of the item before it is made.
After the design is approved, we can create a wax model so you can review the piece physically. This step helps you evaluate scale, proportions, shape, and overall presence before final production begins.
Once the wax model is approved, our jewelers craft the finished piece with attention to structure, finish, stone security, and long-term wear. Each adjustment is reviewed carefully so the final item feels intentional, balanced, and made specifically for you.
You do not need to have every detail figured out before starting. If you like this item but want to change the stone, metal, size, shape, width, engraving, or overall style, we can guide those decisions through the custom design process.
Quality & Craftsmanship
At Joseph Jewelry, quality begins with the structure. We follow strict design and construction standards for metal thickness, weight, stone support, setting security, and long-term durability. These details help ensure the item is substantial enough for everyday wear while still maintaining a refined appearance.
We do not design custom jewelry to be unnecessarily thin or fragile. If a setting, band, gallery, or accent detail needs more support, we address it before production begins. The goal is to protect the stones, preserve the shape of the ring, and create a piece that can be worn confidently over time.
Gemstone selection is also part of our quality process. We help choose the center stone, side stones, and melee diamonds used in each ring, reviewing them for cut, color, clarity, consistency, and how well they fit the design. Even when a ring is designed around a specific budget, we maintain careful standards for the materials and craftsmanship that determine the quality of the finished piece.
Before completion, each custom piece is reviewed for proportion, comfort, stone security, finishing, and long-term wear.
Care & Warranty
All Joseph Jewelry custom pieces are supported by our lifetime warranty. We also provide long-term care, including complimentary cleaning and regular inspection, so your jewelry can be maintained properly over time.
Routine inspection is especially valuable for pieces worn every day. It allows the setting, stones, and overall structure to be checked as the jewelry is worn.
