Tanzanite Origin
Tanzanite is only found in one place in the entire world, in the foothills of Mt. Kilimanjaro. It is commonly thought that tanzanite was discovered in 1967 by a Maasai tribesman. The tribesman found a transluscent blue rock that he thought to be a sapphire. When the stone was tested, it was found to have different properties than corundum (sapphire). What the tribesman had found was determined to be the crystalline form of the mineral zoisite.
Mined with very primitive methods, most tanzanite crystals come out of the ground demonstrating a dingey yellowish-brown color. Through heat treatment at 500+ degrees celcius the rough tanzanite crystals turn their beautiful violetish-blue color. The rough tanzanite gems are then faceted into various shapes in India, USA and Europe and then marketed to an approved list of sightholders who wholesale the finished gems to jewelry manufacturers and retailers.
Tanzanite colors occur in various shades of gray, brown, violet, blue, reddish-purple, and tints of green, though the most valuable color is considered to be a strong bluish-violet color with flashes of purple and/or red.

8 Worst Jewelry Mistakes
While the first criteria for jewelry is beauty, even the most gorgeous pieces of jewelry can be worn to distract from either the jewelry itself or your outfit. The occasion frequently dictates the rules of fashion. You should be the center of attention, not your jewelry. Jewelry is an accessory and an adornment.
Too Much Jewelry
Perhaps the most common jewelry faux paux is wearing too much jewelry. It can confuse the eye and blend your pieces into the appearance of only one piece of rather gaudy jewelry. A stack of bangles worn with layers of bead and chain necklaces and large dangly earrings and several rings is just too much of a good thing.
Noisy Jewelry
Along with too much jewelry, noisy jewelry is usually inappropriate. An arm load of bracelets that clanks or tinkles at your every move is distracting and even irritating.
Wrong Weight and Size
Your jewelry should coordinate with the fabrics in your clothing. Heavy shell or wooden beads do not work with a thin silk blouse. You would be better with several thin chains or a strand of pearls. Pearls are not usually shown at their best with heavy denims or tee shirts. Wear those heavier cork or stone beads with your heavy denims or bulky sweaters. Along the same lines, the length of the necklace should coordinate with your collar. A choker can be worn with a very deep neckline, but if you wear it with a turtle neck or high neck shirt, it looks crowded.
Incompatible Materials
Jewelry can be made of anything from gold and silver with pearls and diamonds to copper washers with natural stone beads. The gemstones and materials used in your jewelry should coordinate, not clash with each other. A skilled designer can coordinate even seemingly incompatible materials for a unique and striking look.
Incorrect Size
If you are a larger sized person, tiny jewelry will get lost on you and can make you look even larger. If you wear jewelry in proportion to your body, it helps unify your look. A tiny person in huge jewelry or too much jewelry can look almost like a child playing dress up.
No Focal Piece
A large necklace, bangle, earrings and ring eliminates the focal point you need for your ensemble. One piece of jewelry can be the focal point and the others can accessorize that piece. Along the same vein, too many matching pieces is just too cute to wear. Earrings that match a bracelet or a necklace and matching bracelet look good. If everything matches exactly as a set, it becomes too predictable and lacking in imagination.
Earring Problems
Earrings seem to cause the most frequent faux paux in jewelry. A well-fitted dangling earring calls attention to your shoulders, which is the last feature to age on most women, but a tiny earring on a large woman can give her a fat-neck look and long dangling earrings on a woman with long hair can look disorganized and messy. Multiple ear piercings have become fairly common, but the earrings need to be coordinated with each other using the largest in the lowest piercings.
Dirty Jewelry
Dirty jewelry is frequently seen. Earrings and necklaces can be affected by hairspray and cosmetics while cleaning products and lotions can affect rings and bracelets. Keep your jewelry clean by using the cleaning methods recommended for each type of jewelry you wear and your jewelry will create a wonderful accessory for your outfit and your own look.

What jewelry you should choose for your face shape?
Oval Shaped Face
If you have an oval face, you will look good in just about any jewelry style or length you like. A choker will emphasize a long neck; a long strand of pearls will lengthen your torso, or a low dangling necklace will look great with a low cut neckline.
Triangle shaped earrings will look great with an oval face. Look for dangling earrings that are not too long, long earrings will add length to your face and make it look longer.Different shapes will ook good in contrast to the oval face shape.
Round Shaped Face
If you have a round face you want to look for necklaces that will elongate the look of your face. Long necklaces will give the illusion of length. Wear necklaces that focus well below your neckline. A necklace with one strong focal element a little above the bust line will look great on you. Almost all earring types look good on this face shape. You might want to try for angular shapes such as squares or rectangles,these will take away from the round shape of your face.
Heart Shaped Face
This face shape is also referred to as a triangle, and because of the sharp angle of the chin, a choker is the best way to go. If you like the look of a longer necklace consider getting a long wrap necklace.Dangling earrings will be a good choice for you. Shop for earrings that dangle into a triangular shape to even out and add length to your face.
Rectangle Shaped Face
This face shape is better described as an oblong. A choker is a good option for people with this face shape, especially if you also have a long neck. Look for bold necklaces in the 16" length. Another option for this face shape is a rounded longer necklace. Look for a necklace or pendant that has a round shape.Keep Earrings short and bold, and color will look great on you.
