Why Natural Gemstone Earrings Mark 18 Years Well
Cat's eye earrings remain the classic 18th anniversary choice. The stone rates 8.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it resistant to scratches and suited for regular wear. Most cat's eye in this collection comes from Sri Lanka and Brazil, where deposits produce stones with strong optical bands. The effect occurs when light reflects off parallel needle-like inclusions within the chrysoberyl. Beyond cat's eye, this selection includes garnet and aquamarine options. Garnet, with its deep red tones, scores 6.5-7.5 on Mohs and has been mined for over 5,000 years. Aquamarine—a beryl variety—ranges from pale blue to blue-green and measures 7.5-8 on the hardness scale. Both stones pair with sterling silver without risk of tarnish transfer. SilverRush Style has operated since 2005, sourcing stones direct from miners and cutting facilities. Each pair ships free within the US, set in verified .925 silver. Browse by stone type, price, or style to find earrings that fit an 18-year celebration.Frequently Asked Questions
