This pair of difficult-to-find, fine quality emerald and diamond stud earrings is named after the butterflies of spectacular beauty seen in the Muzo region of Colombia-like the region's emeralds, these creatures are not to be found anywhere else on the planet. Presented to the eyes of those who are fortunate to view these two exquisitely matched emeralds are glimpses of the forces emanating from those dark green jungles and powerful lightning bolts that stem from the mountains surrounding the Muzo mine.

With a total weight of 8.97 carats, these fiery emerald cut emeralds are wonderfully married to eight Asscher cut and four oval shape diamonds totaling 4.39 carats of VS/EF quality, sparkling vividly in each earring. With a combined gemstone total of 13.36 carats, they are very finely handcrafted in both platinum and 18 karat yellow gold, in stylish eight prong settings, and fashioned on Omega style post and clip backs. The wearer will be favored in owning not one, but two of these geologically rare and large gem-emeralds.

Accompanied by GIA report 2185154033 of February 17, 2017

Note: Due to the inability of current technology capturing the blue green hues and light dispersion in emeralds accurately, digital and particularly print images, do no justice to the true beauty, color and fire of Colombian emeralds. These magnificent specimens truly need to be seen with the naked eye to be appreciated to their full extent.
