Our tanzanite jewellery plays a rich role in the House’s legacy of sourcing the world’s most beautiful gemstones.

Tiffany applies exacting standards to every tanzanite we select, evaluating each stone for depth of colour, clarity and cut before it becomes part of a finished design. Our gemmologists prioritise richly saturated blue-violet hues that reflect the stone’s most prized qualities. Speak to a client advisor to learn more about our gemstone sourcing and selection process.
Deep blue-violet tanzanite with strong saturation and minimal colour zoning is considered the most desirable. Stones that display a rich, even hue across the full face of the gem command the greatest attention among collectors and connoisseurs. The finest examples balance blue and violet in equal measure, creating a depth that is difficult to replicate in any other gemstone.
Our tanzanite jewellery spans rings, necklaces, earrings and bracelets, each crafted to honour the gem’s extraordinary colour. Tiffany settings are designed to maximise the stone’s natural brilliance while reflecting the precision and artistry central to our design heritage. Visit a Tiffany store or explore our collection online to find the design that resonates with you.
Tanzanite requires gentle handling to preserve its colour and surface integrity. Clean your Tiffany tanzanite designs with a soft cloth and mild soap solution, avoiding ultrasonic cleaners, steam and harsh chemicals. Store each piece separately in its Tiffany Blue Box® to prevent contact with harder gemstones. Regular professional cleaning at a Tiffany store will keep your jewellery looking its finest.
White gold and platinum complement tanzanite’s cool blue-violet tones with particular elegance, allowing the gem’s colour to remain the focal point of the design. Yellow gold creates a warmer contrast that can intensify the stone's violet undertones. Rose gold offers a softer pairing that suits more delicate settings. Each metal choice reflects a distinct aesthetic sensibility.
Our artisans work with passion and precision to carefully unleash remarkable vibrancy and light that honours the gemstone’s unique beauty. Considering that the stone was introduced by Tiffany in 1968, it would be a meaningful gift with a rich history to give to someone you cherish.
