Two words that don’t often go together! Tanzanite is one of the more expensive gemstones. It’s rarity, only found in a small are of Tanzania, has meant that it is considered to be a luxury and expensive gemstone.

However, I was prepared to spend the time searching, looking and sourcing, and yes, tanzanite can be affordable. I introduced this wonderful violet blue stone to my first collection Tallulah and then to Tara. I spend hours sifting through stones, handpicking the very best for my jewellery. Once the stones have been chosen, I will then supervise the setting of the stones in the workshop. All the Tanzanite jewellery is made by hand. Each piece will vary slightly ( I don’t use calibrated stones ) in size, colour and shape. All of this adds to the sense of uniqueness.
So if you are looking for a unique piece of Tanzanite jewellery, I hope you will have a look here.

Tanzanite is the birthstone for December. If you have a December birthday, lucky you! It’s only in the last 50 years that Tanzanite has been associated with wedding anniversaries. Along with musical instruments, it can now be given as a 24th wedding anniversary present.
I hope you will agree with me that beautiful and affordable tanzanite jewellery is possible.
