One-of-a-kind single studs in Merelani mint garnets and Mahenge spinel from Tanzania. The  18k settings are handmade in #NYC by artisans, because that\u2019s how @wendybrandes and I roll. I\u2019m so proud of this collaboration for several reasons. First, it\u2019s relatively affordable: prices start at $345 for the single studs. Also, when I\u2019m buying the rough from dealers and miners, I love it so much I sometimes hate to facet it\u2014it\u2019s so freaking beautiful on its own, in its PURE state. And finally, I can only buy the largest, finest rough to become ANZA faceted gems (did you know that the best yields you can hope for are typically around 30%?). Buying the gorgeous but smaller material allows me to invest so much more into these regions that need our support. And have I mentioned how gorgeous?? They glow. If you\u2019re looking for the perfect gift for a January birthday, these green garnets make a BIG IMPACT, as $50 from every purchase goes back to support faceting students in Tanzania. #garnet #greengarnet #grossulargarnet #mintgarnet #pinkspinel #mahengespinel #18k #mismatchedstuds #studearrings #roughgems #gemstones #gemsforchange #gemsgiveback #jewelrywithapurpose #responsiblejewelry #responsiblegems #anzagems #idazzle #idazzletravels #eastafrica #tanzania #kenya #jewelrydesigner #collaboration #handmadejewelry #supportingartisans #madeinnyc<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\" color:#c9c8cd; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px; margin-bottom:0; margin-top:8px; overflow:hidden; padding:8px 0 7px; text-align:center; text-overflow:ellipsis; white-space:nowrap;\">A post shared by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/idazzle\/\" style=\" color:#c9c8cd; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:17px;\" target=\"_blank\"> idazzle<\/a> (@idazzle) on <time style=\" font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px;\" datetime=\"2018-01-19T20:42:50+00:00\">Jan 19, 2018 at 12:42pm PST<\/time><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async defer src=\"\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\"><\/script><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In case you missed it, here&#8217;s what was on the blog this week.
