Before buying Authentic Tanzanite Jewelry, it is very necessary to take several factors into consideration which are described below.
COLOR
- Tanzanites that are darker & have more vivid colours are very rare & more expensive in comparison to the lighter ones.
- The Tanzanite gemstone’s value decreases as the saturation level of the colour falls.
- Tanzanite that is smaller is usually lighter in comparison to the larger sizes. It is very rare to find a very dark tanzanite ring under 3 carats.
- The colour & size of tanzanites are closely interrelated as larger gemstones tend to showcase the deepest colours whereas the smaller ones are usually available in pastel colours.
- All tanzanite birthstone rings showcase a blend of blue & violet shades – and displays show the two colours when rocked & tilted.
- Between blue or violet dominant tanzanites there is no such type of price difference.
Cut
Before buying a tanzanite wedding ring, be sure to look for gemstones that have a well-cut & symmetrical face. Also don’t forget to check out for “windows” which are those areas in the gemstone that look almost transparent. Something like this happens when the stone is cut badly and light leaks through the gemstone’s bottom.
Lightning
Tanzanite gems are the ones that are sensitive to light as they tend to shift their colour so be aware that your tanzanite gem may look different at night & during the daytime.
Clarity
Tanzanite gemstones are generally treated as perfectly flawless when they don’t contain any inclusion. If it contains any small crystals, cracks, or inclusions & visible to your naked eye then the tanzanite should sell at a less price.
Proportions
These gems commonly have a deeper cut underneath than any other gemstone. So be careful before buying a tanzanite gem if it has a very deep bottom as the stone will weigh more & due to this it will cost more in comparison to a stone with a shallower cut.
Look Vs Carat Weight
The size of tanzanite gems may not show Carat weight accurately as it is very simple for dual-coloured gemstones with similar carat weight to look completely diverse.
The carat weight of a coloured gemstone can change as per the variation in each gem's proportion so the ideal way to judge the actual size of tanzanites is its “face-up”, or the diameter measurements of length & width.
Enhancement
To enhance the colour of all tanzanite earrings, all of them have been heated and that has no effect on the price of the gem as all finished gemstones are assumed universally to have been heated.
“UNHEATED” TANZANITE
“Unheated tanzanite” are those that attract some people these days as they are sold at a premium price. The fact is that it is scientifically impossible to currently prove if tanzanite was heated by man or by nature, and there is no such gemological laboratory that will issue a certificate for “unheated” tanzanite gems.
GRADING SYSTEMS OF TANZANITES
For Tanzanites or any other coloured gemstone, standard quality grading scales don’t exist.
The only gems with a universal grading system are Diamonds. So if you want to buy authentic tanzanites then you can do one thing and that is the fact to buy tanzanite pendants & jewellery from a trusted source or a reputable jeweller like Chordia Jewels.
D BLOCK & AAA+ TANZANITE: To imply high value & premium quality, these two phrases are very commonly used online but in actuality, they have no scientific proof whatsoever & should not take a guarantee of the quality of a gem.
Conclusion: The Ultimate Guide to Buying Authentic Tanzanite Jewelry
Every gemstone is unique on its own just like all of us. There are no such gemstones that are exactly the same as each has a different personality. Coloured gemstones have a beauty that is like a flower garden with practically countless choices. Therefore, if you’re looking for a gemstone that is perfect for you then it may not be decided as the most expensive or “flawless” gemstone but it is the one that attracts you and makes your heart bloom.
