Here\u2019s our edit of couture jewellery for Tanzanite enthusiasts.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Folkore has it that in 1967, a Masai tribesman stumbled upon a cluster of highly transparent, intense violet-to-blue crystals weathering out of the earth in Merelani, an area of northern Tanzania. He alerted a local fortune hunter, Manuel d&#8217;Souza, who quickly registered a few mining claims. D\u2019Souza hoped that he\u2019d discovered a new sapphire deposit. Instead, it turned out to be a new addition to the world of gems. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The stone with its intense and unusual colour fascinated Tiffany &amp; Co, who became its main distributor. Tiffany then threw the spotlight on the African gemstone with its advertising campaign in 1968 \u2013 and the rest of the world fell in love with this gorgeous gem. The luxury house also christened the \u201cblue zoisite\u201d as homage to its country of origin \u2013 Tanzanite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you believe in the significance of birthstones or not, your jewellery collection could always do with a pop of velvety, rich blue or violet Tanzanites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/The-hoops-depicting-rolling-waves-feature-tanzanites-that-tumble-along-with-its-peaks-and-troughs.-By-Renna.jpg\" rel=\"mfp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"827\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/The-hoops-depicting-rolling-waves-feature-tanzanites-that-tumble-along-with-its-peaks-and-troughs.-By-Renna-1024x827.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2946 lazyload\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/The-hoops-depicting-rolling-waves-feature-tanzanites-that-tumble-along-with-its-peaks-and-troughs.-By-Renna-1024x827.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/The-hoops-depicting-rolling-waves-feature-tanzanites-that-tumble-along-with-its-peaks-and-troughs.-By-Renna-300x242.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/The-hoops-depicting-rolling-waves-feature-tanzanites-that-tumble-along-with-its-peaks-and-troughs.-By-Renna-768x620.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/The-hoops-depicting-rolling-waves-feature-tanzanites-that-tumble-along-with-its-peaks-and-troughs.-By-Renna-450x363.jpg 450w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/The-hoops-depicting-rolling-waves-feature-tanzanites-that-tumble-along-with-its-peaks-and-troughs.-By-Renna-225x182.jpg 225w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/The-hoops-depicting-rolling-waves-feature-tanzanites-that-tumble-along-with-its-peaks-and-troughs.-By-Renna-900x727.jpg 900w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/The-hoops-depicting-rolling-waves-feature-tanzanites-that-tumble-along-with-its-peaks-and-troughs.-By-Renna-20x15.jpg 20w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/The-hoops-depicting-rolling-waves-feature-tanzanites-that-tumble-along-with-its-peaks-and-troughs.-By-Renna-119x96.jpg 119w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/The-hoops-depicting-rolling-waves-feature-tanzanites-that-tumble-along-with-its-peaks-and-troughs.-By-Renna.jpg 1122w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>The hoops depicting rolling waves feature tanzanites that tumble along with its peaks and troughs.
