Vivid flashes of purple, green, blue, and pink animate these circa 1990s VIVAH mystic topaz earrings. Large faceted oval stones sit in sterling silver bezels with concentric borders and darkened grooves, suspended from French ear wires.
VIVAH is a Canadian jewelry retailer known for sterling silver and gemstone jewelry. Mystic topaz owes its rainbow effect to a thin surface coating applied by vapor deposition. The colors shift with the light and viewing angle. Signed VIVAH and stamped 925.
