Carved Tanzanite Ring - SOLD

Tanzanite was discovered in the hills of Northern Tanzania by Masai tribesman and remains the sole source of Tanzanite to this day. An extremely desirable gemstone, it can show two colors – blue and violet – depending on the way the light hits the stone. 

This beautiful Tanzanite has a unique carved flower design in the cabochon.  The stone is set in a pure 22k gold bezel and accented with three granules on each side, all on a wide sterling band.

Granulation is an ancient decorative technique and can only be done with the purest of metal. To bring out the blue-violet of the stone it is set on a pure silver back sheet. The ring band is sterling silver and is hand tapered on the back of the ring for a comfort fit. Each gemstone has its own unique “character characteristics” seen in the crystal structure of minerals like a fingerprint.  The GIA has this to say about Tanzanite:  “Lush blue velvet. Rich royal purple. Exotic Tanzanite is found in only one place on earth, near majestic Kilimanjaro.”

All stones are hand picked for unique characteristics and color.  Read more about Tanzanite.
