Tanzanite Engagement Rings

Tanzanite engagement rings continue to be one of our best sellers. Tanzanite is a truly African gemstone that has a largely global appeal.

Tanzanite rings are often chosen as alternatives to blue sapphire rings. These two are the most popular blue gemstones. Tanzanite and sapphires look very similar in appearance and it is not always easy to tell them apart. Tanzanite are often mistaken for sapphires. The color of top quality tanzanite can equal that of sapphires. Tanzanite is a pleochroic gemstone, which basically means that it can exhibit different colors when viewed from different angles, the blue and violet.  Vivid Intense blue is the best and most valuable tanzanite color. This grade would be regarded as AAA (top grade).
Tanzanite engagement rings are more often then not set in white gold or platinum. That being said, the incredible blue and violet is breathtaking when set in rose gold, especially when accompanied with smaller white diamonds.

The African Gemstone

The History of Tanzanite, the African gemstone.

Discovered in the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro in 1967 when a Masai tribesman stumbled upon a formation of intense, highly transparent crystals in the northern part of Tanzania. It was quickly named Tanzanite after Tanzania, the country in which it was discovered. This spectacular violet-blue tanzanite is found in only one location on earth, making it a truly African gemstone. A thousand times rarer than a diamond, the supply of Tanzanite gemstones is only expected to last one more generation, thus not only a beautiful gem but a sound investment.
