When gemologists brought the first blue gemstones from the steppe sands of Tanzania to New York in 1967, the company Tiffany & Co. secured the rights to this mineral. Why were these gemstones only discovered in the 1960s? The explanation is that they are about a thousand times rarer than diamonds! Due to its rarity and beauty, it is not surprising that this gemstone from the savannahs of Tanzania has become one of the most sought-after minerals in jewelry since its discovery. The ring presented here is designed around a tanzanite of very beautiful quality. The stone, weighing around 1.90 carats, shines in a strong lilac tone. It is surrounded by a so-called entourage of twelve white diamonds. The diamonds are set into petals: The ring thus becomes a never-fading greeting of spring. The ring is made of white gold and dates back to the mid-1970s - shortly after the discovery of what is still the only tanzanite mine in the world. A stylish, hand-forged piece of jewelry made from the most luxurious materials, it is also ideal as a magnificent engagement ring. We discovered the ring in the Rhineland.
