Tanzanite, Sapphire, & Diamond Earrings - "Periwinkle"

Eunmi Han, designer and founder of Le Conte Jewelry, translates the impasto technique in oil painting and transforms those visible brush-strokes into this dreamy pair of stud earrings. Each earring features a luscious tanzanite framed by a golden brushstroke which is accented by twinkling white diamonds and a petite blue sapphire. With a nod to the romantic side, these enchanting earrings will sweep you off your feet.

Did you know? The impasto technique is usually associated with the work of Vincent Van Gogh. It is said that he applied the paints directly onto the canvas and simply mixed them together with his own fingers. One of the examples of the impasto technique in his oeuvre is the painting The Starry Night.
