^ me too! I've always wanted a tanzanite ring or pendant. quality tanzanite is hard to find though...lots of stores have the sad pale tanzanite that doesn't sparkle or flash reds and purple. miss cara found a gorgeous piece!
 
VOILA!
I've been watching this for a while at my local family-owned jeweler, and it hasn't moved in the two years I've been shopping there. So, I made an offer, and they accepted! approx 5.5 carats with melee. EEEE!!!! (and, goodby year-end bonus.)

Thanks! It's actually a Tanzanite- but there's no purple to it at all. It looks like a huge honkin Sapphire, without the billion dollars that a Sapphire that color would cost!
^STUNNING ring!!! love the stone, color, cut, & setting...congratulations!

be careful though...tanzanite isn't nearly as hard as sapphire is.
