Description
This is a simple but beautiful tanzanite and 18k solid gold pendant. The gemstone is a light blue/ violet in color and is clear and bright. Tanzanite is mined in only one place in the world (Tanzania) and it comes in a variety of colors ranging from pastel pinks and purples to many shades of blue. The darker blue material that most people are familiar with has been heated to enhance and darken its color. This piece is completely natural and takes on a slightly violet hue under incandescent light (first five photos) and a little bluer hue under sunlight (last two photos). Gem dealers refer to material like this as “fancy” colored Tanzanite.
The body of the pendant has a ribbed design which encircles the gemstone. The bale is attached by a small horseshoe shaped piece. It is a small-sized pendant that is just over 5/16” wide and close to 3/4” tall (including the attachment bale).
