White Topaz/Moldavite Gold plated Earrings | 1.4g | Chlum

A distinctive pair of asymmetrical drop earrings combining natural Moldavite with a beautifully faceted white topaz, handcrafted in gold-plated sterling silver.

One earring finishes with a clear emerald-cut white topaz, while the other features a raw, richly textured Moldavite securely held by minimal claws. The contrast between the brilliant precision-cut topaz and rugged natural Moldavite gives the pair its bold, unmistakably original character.

Geometric open links connect each stone to the polished stud, creating an elegant articulated design with plenty of movement. The warm gold finish unifies the intentionally mismatched composition while allowing the clarity of the white topaz and deep green Moldavite to stand apart.

Individually handcrafted by an artisan jeweller in Bali, these one-of-a-kind earrings balance contemporary design with the natural beauty of two very different stones.

What is Moldavite & where is it from?

Moldavite is a rare tektite or meteoric glass, caused by an asteroid impact 15 million years ago. The intense, 10,000°C+ temperatures of the strike vapourised the asteroid, target rock and sand, flinging the molten substance high into the atmosphere.

From the impact zone in Germany some 300km away, it landed back to earth in what is now the Czech Republic and as it flew, it cooled and solidified into translucent green, glass-like droplets of various shapes and sizes.

It is said that only 1% of what had originally fallen is still intact to this day and the estimates of the total amount of Moldavite remaining is under 300 tonnes. In comparison with gold or diamonds, this makes Moldavite 1000x rarer.

99% of all Moldavite is found in a small area in the southern part of the Czech Republic. It can be found on the surface but the highly prized, well-preserved specimens are found up to 6 metres underground.
