Tanzanite Legacy
There are perhaps no other stones in the world that possess the magnificent beauty and preciousness of tanzanite. Alluring and beguiling, they are among the rarest jewels in existence. Many of the world’s most historic tanzanite have been passed through Tanzanite New York, and we continue to craft sensational tanzanite jewelry in our Royal collection that honor these extraordinary wonders of nature.
Tanzanite had its first taste of fame when Tiffany began using it in its designs just a year after its discovery – the first jeweller in the world to do so. A gem-quality variety of the mineral zoisite, Tiffany thought the name wasn’t catchy enough and renamed it tanzanite after its country of origin, and that's how Tanzanite New York was born.
With its remarkable rarity and unique gemstone qualities, it's no wonder that experts have dubbed it “the gemstone of the 20th century.” In recent years, top-quality tanzanite gems have fetched higher prices at auction than rubies, emeralds or diamonds! But because Tanzanite New York buys direct and uses our own designers, we are able to offer you this rare beauty at unbelievable prices.
In 2002, the American Gem Trade Association chose Tanzanite as their birthstone for December, their first change in many years because of its popularity. Each piece weaves its own unique story, reflecting the essence of those who wear it.
