Spear-Cut Warm-Toned Tanzanite Diamond and Ruby Pendant Necklace 1.79tcw 14kt Yellow Gold
Treasured & Co.®
This Warm-Toned Tanzanite and Diamond Nature Pendant Necklace centres a 0.81tcw natural tanzanite displaying the warm/burgundy axis of the stone's natural trichroism, accented with 0.06ct of natural diamond, in a nature-inspired sculpted setting in 14kt yellow gold. Total carat weight is 0.87tcw across the pendant, hung on an 18-inch 1.75mm curb chain. The pendant measures 0.75 by 0.70 inches. Where most tanzanite pendants showcase the cool blue-violet end of the stone's spectrum, this piece deliberately leans into the warmer side of tanzanite's pleochroism, the centre stone reads burgundy-toned rather than blue, and the yellow gold setting reinforces the warm character.
The 0.81tcw centre is a natural mined tanzanite from Tanzania. Tanzanite is famously trichroic, the same stone displays blue, violet, and burgundy depending on viewing angle. Most commercial tanzanite jewelry is cut and set to emphasise the blue-violet end of the colour spectrum (typically with white gold settings). This pendant takes the opposite approach: the cut and the warm yellow gold setting both work to support the burgundy/warm-toned axis of tanzanite's natural pleochroism, producing a stone that reads warmer and more golden-violet than the classic blue tanzanite presentation. Both colour expressions are gemologically authentic tanzanite, the warm axis is part of the species's natural trichroism, not a different stone or a treatment artifact. Tanzanite registers 6.5-7 on the Mohs hardness scale.
The 14kt yellow gold setting (585 purity) is fabricated as a sculpted nature-inspired form around the centre tanzanite, with diamond accents punctuating the design. The pendant style differs from typical halo or solitaire tanzanite pendants, the floral/organic silhouette reads as a distinct decorative piece rather than a minimalist coloured-stone solitaire. The 18-inch 1.75mm curb chain is included, curb chains are a substantial flat-link gold pattern that pairs naturally with statement pendants of this type rather than thinner cable or rope chains.
Most tanzanite jewelry markets the classic blue-violet appearance, the cuts and settings amplify the cool axes of tanzanite's trichroism. Warm-toned tanzanite (also sometimes called burgundy tanzanite, or simply tanzanite displaying its warm pleochroic axis) is a recognised but less-common style choice. For buyers who want a tanzanite piece that doesn't look like every other tanzanite necklace on the market, the warm-toned option offers a path that emphasises the burgundy side of tanzanite's natural colour range. The yellow gold setting, the nature-inspired silhouette, and the warm centre stone tone all work together for a coherent style.
Yes. The 0.81tcw centre is a natural mined tanzanite from Tanzania. Like virtually all commercial tanzanite, it is heat-treated, a standard accepted trade practice.
Tanzanite is trichroic, displaying three colours (blue, violet, burgundy) depending on viewing angle. Most commercial tanzanite jewelry is set to emphasise the blue end of the spectrum. This pendant is deliberately set to emphasise the warm/burgundy end of tanzanite's natural colour range, the cut, the yellow gold metal, and the design language all support that warmer tonality. The stone is genuinely tanzanite, the colour is authentic tanzanite pleochroism.
Yes. The 18-inch 1.75mm curb chain in 14kt yellow gold is included with the pendant.
Yes. The setting and chain are real 14kt yellow gold (purity 585), not gold-plated, gold-filled, or vermeil.
