The Evie Fancy Tanzanite and Diamond Necklace
18ct White Gold Pendant with 1.88ct Pale Green Tanzanite and Diamonds
This apple green Tanzanite was discovered in Merelani, Tanzania on the 1st June 2019. This rare stone will show tones of green, blue, violet and yellow, depending on the light.
It was cut by master cutters in Tanzania and then sent for laser inscription and GIA certification in Kenya. before I purchased it on the 2nd August 2019 to design the beautiful 18ct white gold pendant pictured.
Set in a split claw mount, within a brilliant-cut diamond micro-set halo and pendant loop - (35 diamonds: total diamond weight 0.16ct, F colour and VS2 clarity) - the beauty of this princess cut, natural 'fancy' pale green Tanzanite gemstone can’t be ignored. It hangs from an 18ct White Gold curb style chain.
I wanted this gem to be the centrepiece of an Art Deco style pendant. I designed this necklace to stand out from the crowd – just exactly as a unique piece of jewellery should.
This Tanzanite:
This beautiful 1.88ct princess cut natural pale apple green Tanzanite is 7.64mm high x 7mm wide x 4.5mm deep.
A photo of this actual Tanzanite in the rough (i.e. before cutting and polishing) is on the mining report below.
It’s named after a truly remarkable young lady!
The gemologist's comments on this stone were:
"Stunning. A light "apple" green with lots of sparkle and life. In some lights a secondary blue can be perceived as light flashes off the back facets. Excellent trichroism in the dichroscope showing green, violet and yellow. Rare and gorgeous."
