Buying guide
Tanzanite is known for its blue to violet color, and the tone can shift a little as you turn it in different light. Most tanzanite is heated to bring out that blue-violet shade, a standard practice for the stone. Its color looks cool and vivid against white gold, platinum or silver, and richer in yellow or rose gold.
A marquise is long and narrow, tapering to a point at each end. The length gives the color a wide face to show off, and the points add a crisp outline. On the ear, a marquise looks larger than a round stone of the same weight, so even small sizes read well.
Tanzanite is about 6 to 7 on the Mohs scale, softer than sapphire or topaz, so studs are a good way to wear it: earrings take fewer knocks than rings. Take them off for the gym and housework, clean them only with warm soapy water and a soft brush, and avoid ultrasonic cleaners and sudden heat. Prices start under $200, and many choices are around $400.
