Tanzanite Gemstone Jewelry

A thousand times rarer than diamonds and much, much older, the beautiful gemstone Tanzanite takes its name from the only place it can be found - Tanzania in Africa. Experts predict that there is only enough Tanzanite in existence for the mines to be empty within ten years so if you are ever to be able to own a piece of Tanzanite jewelry to pass on to your heirs, now is the time to buy.

Tanzanite comes in a range of blues, violets, lilacs and purples. Discovered by a Masai tribesman in 1967 at the base of Mount Kilimanjaro there cannot be another gem with a more romantic history.

The first western jewellers to create Tanzanite jewelry were the famous and ultra-fashionable Tiffany & Co. in New York.

Tanzanite is rare and growing rarer by the moment, its range of wonderful colors, clarity and cuts lends itself to prominent display. Fashionable drop earrings and earrings accentuate Tanzanite to the fullest but most popular are the large carat sized solitaire rings which show off its scintillating colors to full effect.
