Tanzanite is a blue variety of the gemsone zoisite. An extraordinary gemstone, tanzanites occur in only one place worldwide - the East African state of Tanzania, thus their name, tanzanite. Discovered by Masai shepherds in the Merelani Hills near Arusha in the north of Tanzania, tanzanites quickly were hailed as the "gemstone of the 20th century".
The popularity of tanzanites is greatly due to their unique colour. Running from ultramarine blue to light violet blue, these gemstones are most valued when they show a glimmer of purple. Interestingly enough, most raw tanzanite crystals are spoiled by a brownish-yellow component, which can be removed by the cutter if he or she heats the stone carefully in an oven to approximately 500°. Raw stones must be as free of inclusions as possible to avoid fissures.
At first welcomed as an affordable sapphire substitute, tanzanite soon came into its own. It is now the most popular semi-precious gemstone on the market. The blend of its exclusivity with its attractive colour helps it to remain immensely popular and a cherished stone by all.
 | |  Choker necklaces are made up of one to three or more strands and lie snugly in the middle of your neck. This luxurious look is very Victorian and goes best with off-the-shoulder or elegant V-neck fashions. A classic length that accents virtually any outfit and compliments all necklines. This is the most versatile of all single strand lengths. The princess length necklace is best suited for crew and high necklines. It also compliments low plunging necklines. It's perfect support for a pendant or enhancer. Longer than the princess, and just a bit shorter than an opera length, the matinee necklace is the right choice for casual or business dressing. The opera necklace is the queen of all lengths. When worn as a single strand, it is refined and perfect for high or crew necklines. When doubled upon itself, it serves as a versatile two strand collar. Dripping with elegance the rope necklace was a favourite of Coco Chanel. Wrap it to create multi-strand necklaces and bracelets or double it around your waist for a slimming effect. | |
