3.49 Ct. Tanzanite from Tanzania

This transparent 3.49 carat pear shape tanzanite presents precise proportions and a refined faceting scheme, with dimensions of 11.09 by 8.60 by 6.92 millimeters and a mixed brilliant cut that balances scintillation and depth. The term pear shape describes its gently tapered silhouette, suitable for pendants, rings and bespoke settings where a singular drop of color is required. Clarity is noted as eye clean when evaluated at eye level, which allows light to pass through the stone without distraction from internal features, and polish is rated excellent, producing crisp facet junctions and polished surfaces that emphasize optical performance. This gem is natural and untreated, with no enhancement, and its origin is documented as Tanzania, a region known for producing high quality tanzanite material.

The color of this tanzanite is best described as violetish blue with a medium intense color intensity, a balance between saturation and brightness that yields visual impact without appearing overly dark. The mixed brilliant cut maximizes the return of light in this color range, generating lively flashes of violet and blue as the gem moves. In a jewelry setting the color will stand out because of the way the cut disperses light across the pavilion and crown, creating a textured play of hue that reads as consistent and vibrant from multiple viewing angles. The medium intense saturation allows the gem to pair well with a variety of metals, providing a distinct contrast against white gold and platinum and a complementary warmth when mounted in yellow gold.

Because the stone is eye clean and exhibits excellent polish, the visual presence is driven primarily by color and cut rather than by internal characteristics. This makes the gem particularly well suited for settings where clarity and facet design are visible, such as open prong rings and halo pendants that allow maximum light entry. For designers seeking a focal point, the pear shape offers directional emphasis that elongates the finger or neckline, while the mixed brilliant faceting supplies dynamic scintillation under ambient lighting. The absence of enhancement is a distinguishing attribute for collectors and clients who prioritize natural material integrity, and the Tanzanian origin provides provenance that is relevant to both connoisseurs and professional gem setters.
