About Tanzanite

Five hundred and fifty years ago, in the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro, Mother Nature yielded her most precious of all gems. As testimony to its rarity, Tanzanite remained unknown until 1967 when it was discovered in Tanzania, at what is the still the world’s only known source.

The Queen of Tanzanite, is an exclusive range of exceptional quality loose tanzanite stones and unique tanzanite jewellery. The range has just been extended to incorporate our latest exclusive designs, all handcrafted at our in-house workshop.

Tanzanite is known for its mesmerising blue colour and its ability to brighten up any outfit, day or night. Even though the gemstone continues to gain popularity the origins of the true African gemstone remains to be rare and limited. Tanzanite can only be found in certain areas of the world; the gemstone is generally found near Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania.

All of our tanzanite is sourced directly from the mine and is cut and polished in-house with the latest cutting-edge technology and highly skilled craftsmen. During the cutting and polishing process the specialised craftsmen will examine the gemstone in order to determine the best cut and shape for the specific tanzanite.
