Tanzanite Jewellery

With a captivating colour that showcases shades of violet and blue hues, tanzanite pairs beautifully with a number of different metals.  

Cooler metals like sterling silver and white gold can enhance the deep blue tones of a tanzanite, giving it a more dramatic feel. Platinum is also an elegant choice, providing a beautiful contrast against the tanzanite. 

Yellow and rose gold, in contrast, can add warmth, and bring out more of a tanzanite’s rich purplish hues. 

White and yellow gold are especially popular when it comes to a tanzanite engagement ring, either surrounded by diamonds in a halo setting or accented by diamonds in an emerald cut. Pairing yellow gold with a tanzanite ring can also offer a dose of vintage-inspired cool. If you’re feeling playful, combine metals with tanzanite for both modern and timeless appeal.  

Whichever you prefer, each metal brings something special to a tanzanite gemstone.

There’s no limit to what you can wear with tanzanite jewellery. 

When it comes to clothing, try a neutral colour palette or lighter shades of blue or purple to complement a tanzanite’s stunning mix of violet and blue, or pair with bolder shades like black, white or navy blue to highlight its intensity. Even brighter tones like yellow or orange can contrast with tanzanite for a fresh glow. 

Certain cuts and settings can also bring out the soft radiance of a tanzanite. Tanzanite earrings with round or oval cuts are most popular for their classic feel, while tanzanite rings with an emerald cut can produce a grand effect. Use diamonds to accent a tanzanite gem or pair it with a sapphire to really bring out those blue tones.

Tanzanite is a rare beauty, and as with all jewellery, it’s best to remove any tanzanite pieces before stepping into the shower.  

Removing your tanzanite before showering will protect it from exposure to sudden changes in temperature, helping it maintain its lustre. It will also minimise the likelihood of your tanzanite necklace, bracelet or ring from coming into contact with soaps, lotions and harsh chemicals, so it can keep its shine. 

Storing tanzanite in a separate velvet pouch or jewellery box when not in use will help keep your gemstones in beautiful condition and prevent scratching. 

To properly care for tanzanite jewellery at home, clean it with warm, soapy water and wipe it down with a soft cloth. Learn more about caring for your fine jewellery here.
