Shape

Colour

Tanzanite is graded on colour first: the richer and more even the violet-blue, the rarer the stone. We will show you real stones in the depth you choose.

Beside it

The layers combine freely — a bezel can carry a halo, a hidden halo underneath and two side stones at once. Turn the piece on the bench to see each from the side.

Band edge

Milgrain is a row of tiny beads along each edge — a vintage, hand-finished touch.

All our gold is 18k, cast and finished by hand in Arusha. Platinum is 950. Silver is sterling, rhodium-plated so it stays bright.

Turn the ring over on the bench to read it.

About the stone

Tanzanite is found in one place on earth — the Merelani Hills, an hour from our door. Every stone we set is chosen by our gemologists for colour first. We grade clarity in three steps — Internally Flawless, Small inclusion and Medium inclusion — and tell you exactly which your stone is before we make anything. The price depends on the stone we find for you; we send options and you choose.
