2.65 Ct. Tanzanite from Tanzania

This 2.65 carat princess shape violet tanzanite from Tanzania is a striking example of color and cut working in perfect harmony. Measuring 7.87 by 7.86 by 5.01 millimeters, this transparent gem displays an intense color intensity that immediately catches the eye. The princess cut gives the stone crisp square lines while maintaining a brilliant facet pattern that returns light with a lively, almost electric flash. Evaluated at eye level with a clarity grade of very very slightly included, the stone reads clean and pure in most settings, and the excellent polish further enhances its surface brilliance. Heat treated to bring out the deepest violet tones, this tanzanite presents a rich, saturated hue that is both modern and timeless, and it will anchor any jewelry design with confidence and presence.

When compared to other popular gemstones on the market, this tanzanite offers a unique mix of rarity, value, and color personality that sets it apart. Unlike common amethyst tones that can feel familiar, or blue sapphires that trend toward cooler blue, this tanzanite sits in a captivating violet spectrum that is hard to replicate in other materials. Compared to color change or rare collector stones, tanzanite delivers a dramatic visual impact at a more accessible price per carat, offering collectors and designers the chance to work with bold color without the extreme premiums of the rarest gems. The princess cut also differentiates this specimen from typical rounds and ovals, creating a contemporary silhouette that maximizes table presence and scintillation. The clarity grade of very very slightly included is excellent for a natural stone of this size, and because the inclusions are minimal at eye level, the gem maintains an open, clean appearance that will read as high quality in both solitaire and multi stone settings.

In practical styling terms this violet tanzanite will stand out in any jewelry setting, whether set as a solitaire ring, a dramatic pendant, or a refined pair of earrings. The square princess profile provides geometric modernity that responds beautifully to sleek bezel and contemporary prong settings, while the intense violet color makes a luminous contrast against warm metals like yellow and rose gold, and a rich complementary harmony against cool metals like white gold and platinum. Because of its excellent polish and transparent body, the stone scatters light with a lively brilliance that keeps the color from appearing flat, even under varying lighting conditions. Designers will find this gem particularly effective when paired with small white diamonds or colorless gemstones, as they allow the violet center to dominate and command attention, and the stone is equally persuasive in more avant garde designs where color and shape are the primary statements.
