Description

 Foxfire 14K Gold Tanzanite & Diamond Earrings, 0.70ct, 9.71g

Striking pair of signed Foxfire (FF) custom earrings crafted in solid 14K yellow gold, featuring two square mixed-cut tanzanites totaling approximately 0.70 carat. Each richly saturated violet-blue stone is prong-set within a bold, openwork geometric mount, accented by a round brilliant-cut diamond (approx. 0.06 carat total, G–H color, VS–SI1 clarity). The sculptural, flowing gold framework reflects late 20th-century American studio modernism. Marked 14K and signed FF.

Founded in 1985 on the Oregon Coast, Foxfire Custom Jewelers is known for artisan, hand-fabricated fine jewelry created from original design through final finish. Signed examples are less commonly encountered on the secondary market and are especially desirable among collectors of American studio jewelry. With nearly 10 grams of gold and vibrant gemstone contrast, this pair offers both material substance and distinctive artistic presence.
