Only found one place on Earth, tanzanite spent 585 million years forming in what are now the Merelani Hills in Tanzania before its accidental discovery. Henry Platt, the former president and chairman of Tiffany & Co., was so wowed by the magnificent stone that he named it the “gemstone of the century.” What makes tanzanite so irresistible to jewelers and gem experts? Part of its appeal is the uniquely beautiful violet blue color. Tanzanite is also trichroic which means that three different colors are visible when the stone is viewed from different angles. A gemstone found only one place on earth means supply is extremely limited — especially in the remarkable saturated hue you see here. This bracelet stuns with 16 carats of the “gemstone of the century” accented with genuine diamonds.
