Clusters of tanzanite faceted rondelles shine nicely from Tila glass
and sterling silver beads in this adjustable 16"-20" necklace.
Tanzanite is a unique blue-purple variety of zoisite found only in
Tanzania and made popular by Tiffany & Co. starting in the 1960s.
Tanzanite gemstones - even those with inclusions such as the rondelles
in this necklace - are valuable because the gemstone is so rare and mined
only in select areas. Tanzanite is the second most popular blue gemstone,
behind sapphire. The glass tiles with a blue-green metallic sheen are
made by the Japanese Miyuki company, famous for its remarkable seedbeads.
The necklace can be adjusted from a shorter length closer to the collar
bones to a longer length, as shown in the images, through fastening the
sterling silver marquise shaped trigger clasp in a different circle link
of the sterling silver chain.
