This exquisite necklace features over 8 carats of vivid tanzanite, a gemstone so rare and breathtaking that Henry Platt, former president of Tiffany & Co., hailed it as the “stone of the century.” Discovered only in 1967 near Mount Kilimanjaro, tanzanite is found in a single location on Earth — just a few square kilometers in Tanzania. Already 1,000 times rarer than diamonds, experts warn that the mines are rapidly depleting, making tanzanite one of the most finite gemstones in the world. Its mesmerizing violet-blue hue places it alongside diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and emeralds as one of the five truly precious gemstones. This necklace isn’t just a stunning accessory — it’s a piece of geological history and a treasure whose rarity grows with each passing year. A modern marvel, destined to become tomorrow’s heirloom.
