Buying guide
Tanzanite is a blue-violet gem found in one small area of Tanzania, and it is one of the birthstones for December. Most tanzanite is gently heated to bring out its blue and violet color, which is a standard and stable practice. The stone shows blue from one angle and violet from another, so a heart shape catches both tones as it moves.
Tanzanite rates about 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale, softer than sapphire or diamond. That makes earrings a good choice for it, since studs face far fewer knocks than rings. Clean the stones with warm, soapy water and a soft brush, skip ultrasonic cleaners, and store the pair apart from harder jewelry.
Each heart shaped tanzanite earring sits in a basket, a small metal frame below the stone with prongs at the two lobes and the point. White gold, platinum and silver bring out the cool blue, while yellow and rose gold give a warmer contrast. Platinum is dense, naturally white and costs more than gold. Total weight runs from 0.5 to 10 carats for the pair. Pairs start under $200, and most cost just under $400 at the smallest weight.
