Tanzanite and Diamond Ring in 14K

Rare and valuable, tanzanite is also found in only one place on the planet: the Merelani Hills of Tanzania, in the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro. One of the world’s most beautiful blue gems, tanzanite is actually pleochroic, showing three different colors when viewed from different directions: purple, blue and bronze. As you move, you’ll see the colors flash. Discovered in 1967 and named by Tiffany & Co in tribute to the beauty of Tanzania, tanzanite quickly became one of the world’s most popular gems. When you gaze into its mesmerizing depths, you’ll understand why. Tanzanite is a birthstone for December and the 24th anniversary gem.

14K white gold is the most popular white precious jewelry metal. Its pale glow is the perfect setting for cool-toned gems. Since gold is naturally golden yellow in color, to make 14K white gold, 58.5% gold is alloyed with white metals, usually silver, zinc, palladium, or nickel. These metals also improve the hardness, durability and affordability of white gold jewelry, since pure gold scratches fairly easily. To get that bright shine, most white gold jewelry is also plated with rhodium, a platinum group metal.
