It is impossible not to admire this unique ring.  It features a cabochon cut, 14.05ct Natural Tanzanite that is securely bezel set with a halo of genuine diamonds around it.

The Tanzanite is medium blue with some feather flaws through it.  This can be expected in a natural stone of this size and is captured in the photos.  There 40 x Round Single Cut Diamonds in a halo around the Tanzanite that are TLB (Tinged Light Brown) in colour. 

The stones are set in solid sterling silver (925) and this ring weighs a hefty 11.23 grams so it is perfect for everyday wear and will stand up to the knocks of life!

This sale includes an Australian Valuation Certificate with a Retail Replacement Value of $2,390.  The ring is a size 'N' and it is easily resizable by your local jeweller.  It is a very large piece, measuring approximately 2 1/2cms x 2cms, so it's not for the fainthearted and it will be noticed from across the room!

This is a quality ring that I'm sure will be enjoyed for years to come!  Tanzanites are reported to become more valuable than diamonds within the next 10-20 years due to their rarity and the tiny area in which they can be found.  They are mined in the foot hills of Kilimanjaro in an area that is only 4 kilometres square! 

THE ONE-GENERATION GEMSTONE

Tanzanite is becoming rarer day by the day, as the yield from the mines is gradually decreasing. It is obvious that the supply is diminishing daily, and no-one is sure exactly how long it will last. In 2013, independent geologists assessed the largest tanzanite mine, Tanzanite One, as having only 30 years left. The smaller mines in the area remain unmeasured. Many believe that when tanzanite supplies are exhausted, the stone will become a historic “heritage” stone, sought after by collectors across the globe.
