I have sinned, big time! I have been looking for a blue stone (sapphire or tanzanite) necklace for years but was very specific about wanting a good size stone, a royal blue/Ceylon blue colour which is very saturated and a diamond halo. It also had to be 18k white gold or platinum and with at least an 18” chain. I was browsing the window of another jeweller in my town this morning - one I don’t normally visit - and my heart skipped a beat: my dream necklace, deep rich blue tanzanite, double diamond halo, 18k white gold!
Here ‘she’ is: 1.93 carat cushion-cut tanzanite with 0.50 ttcw SI/G diamond double halo in 18k white gold. No info about the quality of the tanzanite but judging by the spectacular colour it’s at least AAA and probably AAAA.
Please excuse the awful lighting - photos can’t do that beautiful colour any justice!
