Solid 14K Gold Stud Earrings with Trillion-Cut Tanzanite - La Pousette Backs

These solid 14K gold stud earrings feature richly saturated trillion-cut tanzanite set in a clean three-prong mounting that frames the triangular shape without overpowering it 💜 The stones show strong violet-blue body color with crisp facet junctions and sharp, well-proportioned points — the cut is precise and lively from every angle.

Each tanzanite is secured in substantial claw prongs that rise confidently at the corners, protecting the points while keeping the stone open to the light ✨ The setting has real presence — not thin, not flimsy — but properly structured gold built to last.

On the back, these are fitted with high-end ALPA La Pousette locking backs 🔒 This is not a basic friction back. La Pousette backs click securely into place and release only when both side tabs are pressed simultaneously — a premium system used in fine jewelry for added security and comfort. They sit flush and balanced on the ear, preventing droop while holding the studs firmly in place.

Marked “14K,” “585M,” and “ALPA,” confirming both gold purity and the quality locking mechanism. These are serious fine jewelry studs — vibrant stones, strong mountings, and one of the best backing systems available.
