Tanzanite Bracelet · Pink Melon Bead & Pearl Drop · 8.1mm

What does tanzanite mean?

Tanzanite is a violet-blue gem found in only one small area near Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, and it is one of the modern December birthstones. In crystal tradition it's a stone of insight and clear communication, linked with an open, easy mood and with attracting love.

Tanzanite is strongly pleochroic: the same bead can look blue from one angle and violet from another, so every strand shifts gently as you move. That changing color is part of its charm.

This piece is a single-wrap bracelet of 8.1mm tanzanite beads in deep violet-blue, saucer-shaped, finished with one carved pink melon-shaped bead, a sparkly vintage-style barrel bead, a small white pearl drop charm and tiny vintage-style spacers.

How it compares: This 8.1mm tanzanite is a single strand of deep violet-blue saucer-shaped beads with a carved pink melon bead, a sparkly vintage-style barrel bead and a small pearl drop. The 8.2mm is our top-grade strand finished only with tiny spacers, the 7.7mm is framed by ornate barrel beads, and the 4mm is a fine multi-wrap.

How can you tell if tanzanite is real?

Turn a tanzanite bead slowly under one light. Natural tanzanite is strongly pleochroic, so it shifts between blue and violet as the angle changes, and small natural inclusions differ from bead to bead. Glass looks the same from every side. Our tanzanite ships from Jiangsu, China, with real studio photos.

1. Turn it under one light: Look for the blue-to-violet shift; glass and most imitations keep one flat color.
2. Expect variety: Shade and clarity differ a little from bead to bead.
3. Look closely: Under a loupe, natural stone shows tiny irregular inclusions; perfectly round bubbles point to glass.
4. Ask us: We're happy to send close-up photos and video of the exact strand.

How do I cleanse and care for tanzanite?

Tanzanite is softer than quartz and can split along one direction, so protect it from knocks and sudden temperature changes. Cleanse it with moonlight or sound, wipe it with a soft dry cloth, store it on its own in its pouch, and keep it away from perfume, lotion and chlorine.

Energy cleansing (gentle options):

• Moonlight: Leave it on a windowsill overnight, out of direct sun.
• Sound: Ring a singing bowl, bell or chime near it for a minute.

Everyday care:

• Avoid knocks: Take it off for sports and heavy work.
• Avoid heat and sudden temperature changes: No hot cars, saunas or radiators.
• No ultrasonic or steam cleaners.
• Store it on its own in its pouch so harder stones can't scratch it.
• Keep it from chemicals: perfume, lotion, cleaners and chlorine.
• Accent care: Wipe the vintage-style accents with a soft dry cloth after wearing.
