(Full disclosure: my cousin’s jewellery company loaned me the jewels to try on but this is not sponsored or gifted as I just tried them on for 2 hours then returned them and I was not paid to mention them at all).
I got to try on a lot of Tanzanite and Zambian emeralds recently and I wanted to share the experience. My engagement ring is Tanzanite so I am familiar with the stone and I wanted to share how it compared to Zambian emeralds. The company I tried the jewellery on from is called Lavingia Jewels and you can find them on Instagram. All pictures are my own.
Tanzanite Pros & Cons
PROS
*Beautiful – The different tones of Tanzanite are stunning to look at
*Durable – I don’t know why people say Tanzanite is fragile, mine has been through it and still looks brand new
CONS
*Hard to find – Top quality stones can be hard to find
*Pricing – Expensive outside of Africa
