10.52ct Tanzanite Ring

This bold ring centers on an exceptional 10.52 carat tanzanite from Tanzania. The gemstone displays remarkable pleochroism, revealing deeply saturated blue and rich violet as the stone moves in the light, with flashes of red adding further depth to its layered color.

Expertly cut, the tanzanite is bright and lively within its rich 18k gold bezel, allowing the gem’s color and brilliance to take center stage. The substantial gold setting is thoughtfully designed to complement the scale of the stone. Polished grooves create contrast against a finely textured surface, while a delicate line of diamonds traces each shoulder, adding a subtle touch of brilliance.

ABOUT TANZANITE
Tanzanite was discovered in 1967 in the Merelani Hills at the base of Mount Kilimanjaro in northern Tanzania. This small mining area remains the only known source of the gemstone in the world.
The gem is a variety of the mineral zoisite and is prized for its strong pleochroism—its ability to show different colors when viewed from different angles. Skilled cutting determines how these colors are expressed, and the finest stones display a vivid interplay of blue and violet with flashes of red.
Tanzanite is also unusual in that its most coveted color saturation often appears in larger stones. Gems of substantial size, such as the example featured here, are able to display the deep, velvety tones for which tanzanite is most admired.
