THE VAULT Proudly Offers 2 Pieces of "RARE UNHEATED" 100% Natural TANZANITE - Violet Blue - 0.43tcw

Tanzanites continue to fascinate with its unusual, captivating aura. Its deep blue with the slightly purple tinge is one of the most extravagant colours known to man and add to that the red flashes to complete the pleochroic triangle. It personifies immaculate, yet unconventional elegance. A person who acquires one of these exclusive gems is someone who wishes to set himself apart from the hoi polloi. A person who wears it exudes confidence and individuality. The almost magical colour of a perfectly cut tanzanite is one that not only suits confident young women; it is also excellently suited to underlining the individuality of the more mature woman.

In the meantime, almost any price you care to name is being asked - and paid! - for tanzanites of good quality. What makes this stone so popular? Is it simply that fantastic colour? No, it is also the exclusivity of its origin. The stone is particularly highly prized because it is found in only one place in the world. The idea of possessing something that not everyone has has always been one of the main criteria in the way we esteem special gems.

What is the value  and cost of a Tanzanite? 

The answer depends on the depth of colour and size. Commercial grade (low-end) Tanzanites may be found quite inexpensively for approximately $100 to $200 per carat in the smaller sizes (1ct). You will generally find this type of material in your local mall's jewellery stores. The colour of this grade of Tanzanite will range from a sky blue to purple and is not considered very valuable (or even desirable), but for many consumers, just being able to own a Tanzanite of any colour is considered a privilege. Rings manufactured from this type of material may generally be found for less than you might expect. But, remember that colour is the #1 factor for determining value of Tanzanite and, along with this, price. The current price for richly coloured Tanzanites in the 3 to 5 carat range is approximately $650 to $700 per carat, with full retail values routinely fetching $1000/ct or more. Other factors determining value and price are cut, clarity, carat weight and recent news related to supply.

 PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE MIGHT BE VARIANCES IN COLOUR DUE TO DIFFERENT MONITORS OR VIEWING EQUIPMENT.
