Antique Style Tanzanite Ring 1.79 Ct., 18K White Gold

This ring centers on a transparent 1.79 carat pear shaped violet tanzanite, with precise dimensions of 10.06 x 6.43 x 4.44 mm and a mixed brilliant cut, qualities that together produce strong, controlled light return and a lively face up presence. The stone is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, and presents vivid color saturation with an excellent polish, attributes that are prized by informed collectors and connoisseurs. Originating in Tanzania and gently heat treated to accentuate its blue violet hue, this tanzanite demonstrates the classic combination of trichroic color properties and modern lapidary skill, making it both visually arresting and technically sound. The presence of natural white diamonds, approximately 0.285 carats and 0.072 carats respectively, each graded VS for clarity and F G for color, further underscores the overall gemstone quality and offers balanced scintillation that complements the center stone without overpowering it.

The setting in 14K white gold is engineered to maximize the tanzanite color and apparent clarity, through both structural and optical decisions. A delicate halo of round brilliant diamonds frames the pear outline, providing a high contrast white backdrop that intensifies the perceived saturation of the violet blue center, while the mixed brilliant cut of the tanzanite allows the halo to catch and redirect white light into the pavilion, improving perceived brilliance. The tanzanite is secured with minimal yet secure prongs, positioned to expose the stone face up and minimize metal shadowing, which preserves the stone face up transparency and allows internal features to be viewed under ideal light. An open gallery with lattice work beneath the setting permits light to enter and escape through the pavilion, enhancing dispersion and reducing the tendency for dark areas, which is especially important for showcasing a pear shape of these dimensions.

For the educated buyer this piece represents a thoughtful interplay between gem material and setting design, where measurements, cut style, clarity assessment, and origin are matched to a metal choice that optimizes visual contrast and durability. The Natural Gemstone Company presents this ring as a study in proportion and light management, with every element chosen to enhance the tanzanite color, to maintain clarity at face up inspection, and to harmonize with high quality diamonds, resulting in a wearable investment that communicates both craftsmanship and gemological integrity.
