TANZANITE EARRINGS

The formation of tanzanite is probably due to a rare coincidence that occurred around 585 million years ago in this East African region and led to chromium and vanadium being able to penetrate into intercalation spaces of the transparent zoisite. Even though the cause of the strong blue colouration of this variety is still a mystery, vanadium is likely to have played an important role.

An idea takes shape

Starting from the first idea, to a simple sketch, to an elaborate 3D model, the customer is involved. Through this process, your Precious unique piece comes to life. An idea is born in the head, but for the realization, it needs hands with a special touch. At Fochtmann, traditional craftsmanship is effectively combined with the most modern working methods.

Tanzanite exudes a very special magic not only because of its rarity but also thanks to its fascinating color spectrum. The range of colored hues, also known as pleochroism, describes an intensity which depends largely on the viewing angle and serves as the main characteristic of this type of gemstone.
