Tanzanite rings hold a special significance for Saggitarians. Tanzanite is the birthstone for December, as well as the anniversary stone for a 24th wedding anniversary. Tanzanite is a fairly recent discovery in the world of gemstones. It was discovered in 1967 in Tanzania at the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro. It was initially called blue zoisite.
Tanzanite was officially brought to the gem market in 1968 and was added to the list of official December birthstones in 2002. It is primarily a trichroic gemstone, meaning that it reflects three colors viz. brown, blue and violet. However, heat treatment is performed on the gemstones to reduce the shade of brown leaving the gemstone with only two colors – blue and indigo/violet. Thus, the trichroism also reduces to dichroism. Heat treatment on tanzanite is a well-accepted practice in the industry.
Tanzanite is an extremely rare gemstone found in only one location in the world and that too within a very small geographical area. According to an estimate the tanzanite mines will deplete in the next two decades. Given this factor of rarity, tanzanite is said to be a thousand times rarer than diamonds and that’s why it’s called ‘gem of a generation’ since future generations may not be able to buy this gemstone from the primary market.
Tanzanite rings are offered in a wide range of styles and patterns. To create your own ring, pick a tanzanite from GemsNY's wide variety of gemstones and ring designs that is the appropriate size and form. You might wish to consider the price of various tanzanites based on their quality and size while creating your ring.
A single centre stone is set on a metal band, generally composed of gold or platinum, in a solitaire tanzanite ring. A two-stone tanzanite ring, in contrast, features two rather than one centre stone. Think about a three-stone ring, which contains a centre stone and two diamonds on either side of it.
Despite the fact that side stones can be added to any tanzanite band, many people mistakenly believe that a side stone ring and a three stone ring are the same thing. On the shank or metal band that makes up a tanzanite ring, the centre stone is surrounded by precious stones, often diamonds. Sometimes totally, other times partially, the stones cover the entire length of the metal band of the ring.
