When gemologists brought the first violet-blue gemstones from the steppe sands of Tanzania to New York in 1967, the company Tiffany & Co. secured the rights to this mineral, which is a thousand times rarer than diamonds on our planet. Due to its rarity and beauty, it is not surprising that this gemstone, tanzanite, from the savannahs of Tanzania soon became one of the most sought-after minerals in jewelry. We see a large tanzanite, which sparkles in an unusually rich hue, as the centerpiece of an entourage of 26 white diamonds. Like petals, the brilliant-cut diamonds surround the colored center stone, which is presented as an oval cabochon and weighs approximately 15.35 ct at more than 20 mm in length. The ring setting is made of 14-karat white gold. The color of the natural tanzanite varies between cornflower blue and violet-purple. It often has a blue color in the middle, while the shorter sides are more violet: a wonderful iridescence that makes the ring appear new and enchanting every time you look at it. The ring is hand-forged and stylistically dates back to the mid-1970s - meaning it was created shortly after the discovery of this enchanting gemstone. An impressive piece of jewelry that comes with an independent appraisal.
