Today is the first of December, which for many means Christmas; time to put up the decorations, open the first window of your Advent calendar, and seriously think about your gift shopping.
Those with a December birthday might sometimes feel a little hard done by, as the festive season can overwhelm your personal celebrations, but it does mean that you can adorn yourself with stunning Tanzanite jewellery – the birthstone for this month.
First found in Tanzania (hence the name) Tanzanite is a variety of Zoisite, distinctive for its blue-violet tones. The colour of this fascinating stone can vary depending on the angle of viewing, and on the light source; fluorescent lights enhance the blue tones, and incandescent ones enhance violet tones.
The first Tanzanite piece in our showcase is this eye-catching 18ct White & Rose Gold Diamond & Tanzanite Spiral Pendant. At the centre lies an exceptional strongly-coloured oval faceted tanzanite, surrounded by rose gold and white gold rings, set with sparkling diamonds. This pendant comes complete with a matching 18ct white gold chain. Retailing at £8,200, this piece is available on 0% finance from just £182.22 per month.
Equally breathtaking, the 18ct White Gold Tanzanite & Diamond Cross Over Ring is a striking and unusual piece featuring two triangular faceted tanzanites totalling 1.53 carats, surrounded by fiery Brilliant cut diamonds totalling 0.35 carats, including the shoulders. This piece retails at £2,995, and is available on 0% finance from just £66.56 per month.
Alternatively, you might choose this beautiful Platinum Pear Cut Tanzanite & Diamond Ring. This ring features another exceptionally coloured stone, totalling an impressive 3.18 carats and mounted in a three claw 950 platinum setting. The remarkable blue/violet tones of the tanzanite stone are enhanced by a double tier of Brilliant cut diamonds, plus diamonds set in the shoulders, totalling 0.60 carats and adding fire and sparkle to the piece. This ring retails at £5,635 and is available on 0% finance from £125.22 per month.
No outfit would be complete, of course, without a stunning pair of earrings. Our 18ct White Gold Diamond & Tanzanite Drop Earrings, designed and made right here at Banks Lyon, features a pair of 8x6mm pear cut tanzanites with lovely rich tones, complemented by two sparkling pear cut diamonds totalling 0.51 carats. With a small loop fitting between the tanzanite and the diamond, the earrings are able to move effortlessly, with the design allowing natural light to infuse the stones. These earrings are available for £2,650, and are available on 0% finance from £58.89 per month.
Alternatively, our 18ct White Gold Tanzanite & Diamond Drop Earrings feature a pair of cushion cut tanzanite stones, totalling 1.12 carats, surrounded by a scattering of small brilliant cut diamonds and topped with a diamond encrusted stud, creating a dazzling and graceful effect with wonderful mobility to catch the light from every angle.
