3.66 Ct. Tanzanite from Tanzania

There are gems that catch the eye and stones that command a room, and this heart shaped tanzanite from Tanzania belongs firmly to the latter category. At 3.66 carats it presents a presence that is both regal and intimate, a scale that reads as luxurious without overwhelming the design of a fine jewelry setting. Measuring 9.70 x 9.58 x 6.63 mm this violetish blue heart has been expertly fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut that maximizes scintillation while preserving the warmth of its intense color intensity. Viewed at eye level it is graded eye clean, a testament to the clarity that allows light to travel unimpeded through its pavilion and crown, and with an excellent polish the surface mirrors the craft that created it. Enhanced by heat treatment to reveal its most vivid and desirable hue, this tanzanite carries the hallmark of a responsibly curated gem, and as part of the collection at The Natural Gemstone Company it arrives with provenance and pedigree. The fine balance of size, shape and finish makes this stone not only beautiful to behold but singularly suited to become the centerpiece of a custom design that will be treasured for generations.

The heart silhouette is among the most evocative shapes in gem cutting, and in this case the proportions deliver both romance and practicality for bespoke creations. The nearly ten millimeter width gives the gem enough visual weight to serve as a standalone focal point in a solitaire pendant or a statement ring, while the depth of 6.63 mm ensures admirable light return, lending the violetish blue tones a lively, three dimensional depth. As a mixed brilliant cut the pavilion facets work in concert with the crown to produce a lively play of light that suspends the intense color between flashes of violet and blue, making the gem exceptionally complementary to both simple and ornate settings. For a modern engagement ring the heart can be set with delicate prongs that celebrate its contours, or embraced in a halo of diamonds to amplify its presence for formal evening wear. In a custom pendant the gem sits perfectly within an open backed bezel that allows light to enter freely, or within a floating mount that highlights its silhouette against the skin. Because it is eye clean the cutter has left the interior visually unencumbered, so designers can choose settings that display the stone openly, confident that the clarity will hold up under scrutiny. The excellent polish means clean, crisp reflections and effortless integration into high end designs crafted in platinum, white gold, or a warm rose gold that answers to the violetish blue hue with a flattering contrast.
