22.80 Ct. Cabochon Tanzanite from Tanzania

One exquisite translucent violetish blue tanzanite, weighing 22.80 carats, commands attention with a perfect round silhouette and a classic cabochon dome. Measuring 14.43 x 14.33 x 12.37 mm, this gem offers a substantial presence worthy of the most discerning collection. Evaluated at eye level, the clarity grade reads included, a testament to its natural origin and the internal character that makes this stone unmistakably unique. The vivid color intensity and excellent polish give the surface a silky, luminous sheen that shifts subtly with each movement, revealing depth and a serene inner glow that cabochon cuts present so beautifully. Heat treated to enhance its chroma, and originating from the famed deposits of Tanzania, this single specimen is rare both in size and in the purity of its tone, a piece that feels like a private discovery rather than a commodity. Owning this tanzanite is a rare privilege reserved for those who value authentic provenance and the quiet drama of a single, remarkable stone.

Crafting this tanzanite into jewelry invites limitless possibilities, each option amplifying its individuality and creating an object that feels bespoke. The domed cabochon profile is ideally suited to secure bezel settings, which protect the girdle and emphasize the stone s smooth silhouette, while open back bezels can be designed to allow more light to play through the translucent body and intensify the violetish blue glow. For a modern minimal statement, a low profile bezel on 18 karat white or rose gold will highlight the gem s color, while a high gallery in platinum or 18 karat yellow gold can create a more regal presentation. Surrounding pavillion sets of small diamonds or sapphires can frame the cabochon like a halo, adding scintillation that contrasts with the tanzanite s soft luster. Alternative designs transform the stone into an heirloom pendant that rests against the skin, a commanding cocktail ring that asserts presence, a masculine signet or cufflink that balances substantial weight with refined craftsmanship, or an artisanal brooch with filigree and sculpted metalwork. Because each setting will interpret the stone differently, our design team recommends custom sketches that explore prong variations, bezel thickness, back treatments, accent stones, and engraving, ensuring the final piece is both secure and exquisitely expressive.
