14K Trillion Tanzanite Necklace in Yellow Gold

TANZANITE

Although tanzanite is commonly thought of as a blue gemstone, it is much more than that. Its hues range from a pale, nearly sky blue to a deep, dark blue. You can easily understand why this gemstone truly attracts the eye when you combine the blue with a few flashes of red and a few hints of violet and purple. Many people consider the stone to be more beautiful than sapphires. The Maasai people, whose territory tanzanite was discovered, present pregnant mothers or newborns tanzanite for good luck because it is said to bring riches. There are a few characteristics that make tanzanite so distinctive. First of all, it is isolated to a tiny mining region in Tanzania. It is just a matter of decades before the tanzanite reserves run out, according to some calculations. Others believe they will last 10 or 20 years. Tanzanite will then only be regarded as an even rarer gemstone. The gem can have a shift in color when viewed from different angles which showcases even more brilliance of the stone.
