2.93 Ct. Violetish Blue Tanzanite from Tanzania

When you are searching for a single remarkable stone to complete a custom jewelry project, whether an engagement ring that must convey devotion, a pendant that must mark a milestone, or a collector piece that must stand on its own, size, shape, color, and clarity matter, and this tanzanite answers all of those needs. This beautiful transparent 2.93 carat pear shape violetish blue tanzanite, offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, measures 12.44 by 7.20 by 5.22 mm, and presents a graceful teardrop silhouette that reads as both classic and modern. The mixed brilliant cut gives it a lively facet pattern that balances scintillation and depth, the clarity grade is very very slightly included as evaluated at eye level, and the polish is excellent, allowing light to dance through its intense color intensity with a lively inner glow. This gem is heat treated, which is an established enhancement to bring out the remarkable violetish blue tones that make tanzanite so sought after, and its origin in Tanzania ties it to the singular region where tanzanite is found, adding provenance that collectors and bespoke designers appreciate.

For designers and clients who imagine pieces that flatter and transform, the pear shape is one of the most versatile and flattering choices, and the dimensions of this stone make it especially well suited to a broad range of custom settings. At 12.44 by 7.20 mm the stone offers enough surface area to be the undeniable focal point of a solitaire engagement ring, while the tapered profile lends itself to elongating the finger when set with the point toward the knuckle. The depth of 5.22 mm gives a pleasing three dimensionality that supports secure prong or bezel settings without sacrificing brilliance, and the near three carat weight provides presence without overwhelming everyday wearability. The mixed brilliant cut faceting strategy combines the fire of brilliant facets with the depth and windowing control of other faceting, producing flashes of bright blue and violet even in softer light, and the excellent polish ensures that every facet edge is crisp and reflective, which matters greatly in close set bespoke work.

When conceiving a custom piece around this tanzanite, consider how the pear shape invites a variety of design directions, and how the stone size and clarity make many of those directions practical and beautiful without compromise. A classic three prong or five prong head will let the stone sit high and catch light from every angle, a low bezel can protect the delicate point for active wearers, and a halo of small diamonds can amplify the violetish blue color while creating the high impact seen in fine engagement rings. For a pendant, the elongated profile looks elegant when paired with a tapered bail, and the modest thickness makes the gem lie comfortably against the chest, maintaining a refined profile under clothing. For collectors and those seeking an artful commission, the combination of intense color intensity and very very slightly included clarity at eye level creates a balance between vivid color and internal character, which can be celebrated in an open back setting that lets light pass completely through, or in a partially closed setting that preserves a sense of depth and mystery.
