Tanzanite: The African Queen of Gems

Because only a limited and fast diminishing source of Tanzanite exists at one location in the world, jewelry made from the African Queen of Gems is becoming increasingly collectible. At JeGem, we are delighted to announce that we now have a number of new additions to our rare collection of tanzanite jewelry.

Tanzanite is an extremely rare and beautiful gem that is found only in the foothills of the world famous Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. Its distinctive blue-purple coloring adds to its regal opulence, but the gem is actually a reddish-brown color when it is mined. It is only through a very precise treatment of extreme heat that tanzanite attains the rich blue hues that give the gem its regal magnificence.

At JeGem, we select only the finest tanzanite for use in our rings, pendants, earrings, bracelets, and necklaces. Next, our master artisans painstakingly handcraft each individual piece into a one-of-a-kind setting that highlights and accentuates the natural beauty of the gem. From midnight blue to semi-translucent shades , every piece in our tanzanite jewelry collection is as beautiful as it is rare. Choose from a selection of rings, earrings, pendants and necklaces to feel the regal opulence of the African Queen of Gems.

Rare quality lapis lazuli jewelry has a blue like no other

llMany colored gemstone lovers own lapis lazuli pieces. Often seen in American Southwestern jewelry, it would seem to be a readily available gemstone. What many blue gemstone collectors don’t know is that most of lapis lazuli found in stores today isn’t the best quality.

The best quality lapis lazuli is a deep, vibrant blue. It doesn’t look faded or washed out like denim. A key to buying the best quality lapis is to look for the deepest, richest color. It won’t be easy to find because the mine in Afghanistan where most of the best quality lapis is mined is nearly exhausted.

But JEGEM.com is still finding some quantity of high- and even top-quality lapis lazuli gemstones to create into lapis  jewelry masterpieces. Because we create jewelry around each amazing gem, we can bring the best gemstones available to you, even if there are only a few of them!

Historians believe lapis was one of the first gems worn in jewelry. Ancient people, as well as many today, loved its deep blue color and glittering gold pyrite flecks often found in high quality gemstones.

When you shop for lapis lazuli jewelry, you’ll notice that the price seems to vary widely because it is based on the quality of the gem. The deep, intense blue stones are much more expensive than the bright-blue gems you’ll commonly find in most jewelry. But with the world’s supply growing smaller, even these stones will become more difficult to find.

The value of lapis jewelry will continue to go up, with the best quality stones becoming more rare and more expensive. Lock yours in today with a stunning jewelry piece from JEGEM.com.
