Best 5 Reasons For Purchasing Tanzanite Engagement Rings

Tanzanite Engagement Rings Intro
Tanzanite Engagement Rings are a relatively new addition to Engagement Rings, and have been present for far less a time on the jewellery market when compared to that of say Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald and of course Diamond Engagement Rings.

These gemstone were not even known existed until 1967, making them new in gemstone history, when they were discovered beneath the mountain known as Kilimanjaro in Tanzania.


Tanzanite can be found in all the usual shapes and cuts, as well as various sizes and quality with regard to clarity, but the most differing quality of this stone is that of their blue-purple colour.

Most often they will be found set with diamonds, to help provide a wonderful contrast. They will be set alongside, or in the centre and surrounded in cluster styles.

5 Reasons To Choose Tanzanite

1. Legend

It is said that this gem can help in the strengthening of both physical and mental powers, as well relieving problems associated with aliments of the skin.

2. Investing In Tanzanite

With demand quickly overtaking that of supply, then surely this gemstone is one of the few types that can be genuinely purchased as a future investment?

3. Colour

The deep blue of the tanzanite is stunning, and runs from ultramarine blue to light violet-blue. The most sought after and valuable of colour is a deep blue surrounded by a delicate hint of purple, which is absolutely amazing in large sizes. When you look at the gem from different angles, it will show different colour shades, and similarly when you look at it in day light, it will look a different shade to that when you look at it under candle, or other light sources.

4. Fashionable Tanzanite

The Tiffany & Co group have ensured that this gemstone remains the most fashionable of stones to be set in your engagement ring.

5. Tanzanite Birthstone

If you have any symbolic links to either being born in December or any kind of 24th anniversary, then this is a perfect choice for your needs.

My Conclusion

It is important to realise that tanzanite is fairly soft in comparison to say sapphire and ruby, and therefore more liable to scratching etc. This means that it is always a good idea to remove this item of jewellery when doing certain tasks that may cause such damage. Also it is imperative that you do not use any chemicals besides a little soapy and warm water, to maintain its original lustre. Never use ultrasonic cleaning methods either. Just remove dirt accumulated with a soft toothbrush.

According to many including Tiffany & Co, it may well be an investment for the future, it may not even. But, whatever happens it will remain one of the very most discerning and beautiful of acquisitions.

Show your tanzanite a little care and love, and if you indeed are confident enough to wear it, it will be the envy of many!
