Merelani Oval Tanzanite Ring

Turn an oval tanzanite in the light and it moves between deep blue and soft violet, the signature shift of a stone found in only one corner of the world. Accents run along the shoulders and hold the center low, which is exactly what this gem wants. Tanzanite is soft, 6 to 7 on the Mohs scale, and it cleaves, so a sheltering setting is not a style choice here, it is care. The stone is a real natural tanzanite, heated to reach its blue-violet the way essentially all tanzanite is, and we say so plainly. Wear it on the right hand, not as a proposal. Pick your metal and carat below.

Shown complete with a real Oval natural tanzanite center from 0.85 to 1.35 carat, from $2,579 all-in. The price is the finished ring: the setting, the tanzanite center you choose, and the labor to set and size it. Tanzanite is blue-violet zoisite at 6 to 7 on the Mohs scale, soft and cleavable, so we build it into protective settings, hand select every stone, and recommend removing the ring for the gym, the garden and rough work. Virtually all tanzanite is heat treated from a brownish rough to reach its blue-violet, a standard and permanent step we disclose plainly rather than claim the stone is untreated. These calibrated stones ship without an individual lab report. Want a certified or larger center? Contact our concierge and we will source and quote it honestly.
