0.85 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Tanzanite Pair from Tanzania

Tanzanite carries with it a story as compelling as its color, a gem born from a single, storied locale in Tanzania, a stone that entered the world of fine jewels in the modern era yet evokes an ancient aura, a modern classic that feels as though it has been treasured for generations. At The Natural Gemstone Company we celebrate that lineage, offering a pair of heart shaped tanzanites that speak to traditions of refinement and the contemplative patience of lapidary art, each piece reflecting a slow and deliberate dialogue between nature and human hands. These violetish blue hearts are small in scale but vast in presence, their color reading as a medium intense blue violet that draws the eye like a memory summoned to the surface, a hue that has inspired collectors and artisans since the stone first emerged from the Mererani hills. The heart shape itself is a timeless motif, rooted in the language of love and legacy, and when rendered in tanzanite it becomes an heirloom promise, a bridge between the mineral past and the design ideals of today.

Technical precision is the quiet hero of this pair, every choice measured to ensure harmony between two distinct yet perfectly matched stones. The pair weigh 0.42 carats and 0.43 carats respectively, an almost imperceptible 0.01 carat difference that requires meticulous selection to achieve visual balance when set. Their dimensions are 4.88 by 4.82 by 3.07 mm for one stone, and 5.03 by 4.99 by 2.85 mm for the other, a set of proportions that demanded expert cutting to translate raw crystal into matched hearts, each given a mixed brilliant cut to amplify scintillation while preserving the depth of color. Clarity was graded very very slightly included when viewed at eye level, a testament to the careful sourcing and grading practices at The Natural Gemstone Company, and the polish has been executed to an excellent standard so that each facet returns light cleanly and consistently. These stones have undergone heat treatment, a customary and stable enhancement that refines the violet blue saturation without compromising structural integrity, and their Tanzanian origin connects them back to the singular terroir that defines tanzanite.

When planning a setting for such a matched pair, the precision of the mount must reflect the precision of the stones, an approach that guides our recommendations and our craftsmanship. Because of their intimate scale and heart silhouette, these tanzanites are ideal for classic stud earrings or for a delicately paired pendant duo, applications in which symmetry and exact alignment are paramount, the slightest variation in bezel thickness or prong placement will alter the perceived color and balance. Our bench jewelers consider prong count, pavilion clearance, and light aperture in microns, they calibrate seat angles to cradle each heart without inducing stress, and they balance metal choice against color warmth so that the violet and blue tones remain true, whether set in cool white gold to emphasize the blue, or in warm yellow gold to enhance the violet undertones. The result is a piece that reads as singular and intentional, a matched pair that harmonizes weight, dimension, and color intensity into a unified presence suitable for both daily wear and ceremonial moments.

Owning this pair is to carry a history in miniature, a narrative of geological time refined by human artistry, offered with the curatorial care that defines The Natural Gemstone Company. For those who treasure tradition and seek a gemstone with an intrinsic story, these heart shaped tanzanites become a private archive of light and color, a small and enduring legacy that can be passed from hand to hand. If you desire custom mounting, matched metal selection, or consultation on how to preserve and present these stones so their balance remains flawless, our specialists are ready to advise on design choices and technical details to ensure your finished jewel honors both the material and the history it embodies.
