Vintage Tanzanite Cabochon 22k Gold Pendant

Tanzanite can only be found in a single mine near Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania (hence its name), and is speculated to be one thousand times more rare than the diamond. The rare gem really steals the show in this beguiling piece, which features a cabochon cut tanzanite surrounded by impossibly yellow 22k gold. As purple and yellow rest at opposite ends of the color wheel, they create a positively vibrational contrast- each egging on the other to be the most vivid version of itself. The materials of this pendant are generously represented, giving this mid-size piece a truly monumental presence.
