Tanzanite is really best complimented by white gold or platinum. Here this stunning square stone was set in 18ct white gold by Grant. In this particular ring the customer was heavily involved in the design, having specific ideas as to how he wanted the ring to look, but being guided by Grant's wealth of experience.
A main reason for Tanzanite‘s success is that it exhibits more shades of blue than a clear midnight sky due to a phenomenon call pleochroism, whereby different colours are seen in different directions of the gemstone. Frequently, Tanzanite exhibits a color change from the more bluish hues under daylight, to pinkish violets under incandescent light (candlelight). Most of the time, you can actually see both colors simultaneously.
A thousand times rarer than diamonds and with a little over a decade of mine life remaining, Tanzanite is the fashion gem of the moment! |
