9ct White Gold Oval Tanzanite Pendant Necklace

Legend says that it was Masai tribesman that first noticed this stone some 30+ years ago after a fire caused by lightning burned areas in Tanzania - the country in Africa which gave the gem its name. Almost overnight, tanzanite was popular with leading jewellery designers and other gem professionals, as well as with customers who had an eye for beautiful and unusual gems. The instant popularity of this transparent blue-to-violet gem was tied to its vivid colour, high clarity, and potential for large cut stones.

Clean, crisp and cool: this stunning stone is displayed beautifully amongst four simple, unobtrusive 9ct white gold claws. Suspended from a delicate 9ct white gold chain (not illustrated) this pendant offers amazing impact from such a small piece.
