This Vintage Tanzanite and Pearl Pendant Necklace pairs natural tanzanite with cultured pearl on a 26-inch 1mm baby rope chain in 14kt white gold, totaling 2.00 carats across the piece. The pendant measures 1.85 by 0.70 inches, substantial enough to function as a statement necklace at cocktail or formal occasions. As a vintage piece, this necklace is offered final-sale (non-refundable), the design and provenance are as-found and not part of an active production line.
The pendant combines natural tanzanite with cultured pearl across the 2.00 total carat weight. Tanzanite, sourced from a single 14-square-mile zone in Tanzania near Mount Kilimanjaro, is a trichroic gemstone displaying blue, violet, and burgundy depending on viewing angle. Pearl complements tanzanite particularly well in necklace settings: the pearl's organic luster softens the saturated colour of the tanzanite, and the colour palette of pearl plus tanzanite reads as classical fine jewelry rather than contemporary statement work. Tanzanite registers 6.5-7 on the Mohs scale, pearl registers 2.5-4.5 (significantly softer), so the necklace requires gentler care than a hard-stone-only piece.
The pendant is fabricated in 14kt white gold (585 purity), with the pearl and tanzanite combined into a single pendant silhouette. The 26-inch 1mm baby rope chain is included, baby rope is a thin twisted-wire chain pattern, particularly suited to longer chain lengths because it drapes well at 24 to 30 inches. The 1.85 by 0.70 inch pendant size makes this a true statement necklace, sized for clear visibility on the chest rather than a daily-stack pendant.
