Tanzanite Teardrop Basket Charm
A faceted, asymmetrical teardrop-shaped tanzanite sits in a delicate basket setting, allowing the stone’s rich violet-blue color to catch the light from every angle. The shape gives the charm a graceful, fluid feel, while the open setting keeps the look refined and minimal. Worn alone, it brings a soft but striking pop of color; layered with other charms, it adds depth and a subtle sense of movement.
Tanzanite is associated with intuition, transformation, and clarity, believed to support perspective and emotional awareness during times of change. As one of December’s birthstones, it carries themes of renewal and insight, often linked to calm focus and inner alignment.

Erin Cuff
Made by hand in her Northern California studio, Erin Cuff's jewelry collection features both sterling silver and solid 14k and 18k yellow gold, and is inspired by the desert, modernism, mid-century design, folk art, and the southwestern United States, where she hails from. With a rich background in photography, art, and woodworking, her eye for design is well-rounded and multifaceted. Above all, her biggest inspiration is her grandmother Madelyn, who was a classically trained jeweler and gemologist from the mid 70’s through the early 2000’s. Erin mastered silversmithing under Billy King at Sterling Quest in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, and soon after began her journey in goldsmithing, working in the industry in Oakland and San Francisco, where Erin lived for over a decade. All of Erin's creations carry an equal balance of elegance, utilitarianism, and sentiment. Both in structure and style, they are built to last a lifetime and then some.
