Some jewelry pieces are beautiful because of how they look. This one earns a second kind of attention, not just for its appearance, but for what the stone inside it actually is. This 14 Karat Gold Moldavite Drop Earring weighs a total of 6.96 grams and measures 31x16x8 mm. It is a refined, well-proportioned piece with a slim, elegant profile that works as well with an evening outfit as it does with everyday clothing.
The Moldavite stone at the heart of this earring was formed 14.7 million years ago when a massive meteorite struck what is now southern Germany. The impact generated extraordinary heat and pressure, sending molten terrestrial glass flying across hundreds of miles. That glass cooled in the air, fell over the Bohemian region of the Czech Republic, and hardened into the naturally sculpted green stones we call Moldavite today. Every single piece is unique. No two Moldavites look exactly alike because no two fragments flew the same path or cooled at the same rate.
The deep forest green of the Moldavite stone catches the eye the moment you put this earring on. The raw, unpolished surface of the tektite brings natural texture and organic character to the piece that no synthetic or faceted gemstone can match. Against the warm shine of 14 Karat Gold 58.3% pure gold, the most commonly used standard in fine jewelry worldwide the contrast is visually striking. Raw and refined. Ancient and elegant. It is the kind of piece that people notice and ask about.
At 6.96 grams total, this earring has a noticeable but comfortable weight on the ear. The 31mm length gives it a graceful drop without being overpowering. We source our Moldavite directly from legal localities in the Czech Republic, and every stone is hand-selected for quality before being set into jewelry. Contact us today to ask about pricing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Moldavite drop earring made from?
This earring is made from two materials: a genuine raw Czech Moldavite tektite as the featured stone, and a solid 14 Karat Gold frame as the setting. 14K gold contains 58.3% pure gold and is the most widely used gold standard in fine jewelry for its balance of richness and durability.
Is the Moldavite in this earring real?
Yes. All Moldavite used in Rare Moldavites jewelry is genuine Czech Republic tektite, sourced directly from legal localities in South Bohemia. The stone in this earring is a natural, unpolished Moldavite with its original surface texture fully intact.
What does 6.96 gr mean for a Moldavite earring?
6.96 grams is the total weight of the complete earring, both the gold frame and the Moldavite stone together. This is a solid, substantive piece. The 31x16x8 mm dimensions describe its length, width, and depth.
Is raw Moldavite good for jewelry?
Raw, unpolished Moldavite is highly prized in jewelry precisely because the natural surface texture and green color are preserved in their original state. It looks completely different from a faceted gemstone: more organic, more visually interesting, and entirely unrepeatable.
