Why Two Same Tanzanites Have Different Prices?
When shopping for Tanzanite stones or Tanzanite Jewellery, many people feel confused.
Two Tanzanite stones may look almost the same — similar blue color, same size, same shape — but their prices are very different.
The answer lies in one powerful factor: Fine Cut Tanzanite.
In market, majority of tanzanite sellers ignore the cut factor but we at Jewelspire manufactures Fine Cut Tanzanite and uses the same in our Tanzanite Jewellery.
What Is a Tanzanite Stone?
Tanzanite stone is a rare blue-violet gemstone found only in Tanzania. It is admired for its rich blue shade with flashes of violet. When moved under light, it shows beautiful color variations from different angles.

Because Tanzanite comes from only one location in the world, it is naturally rare. However, rarity alone does not determine its price. The way the tanzanite stone is cut plays a major role.
What Does Fine Cut Tanzanite Really Mean?
Fine Cut Tanzanite means the gemstone has been cut at precise angles so that:
- Light enters the stone properly
- Reflects inside at correct angles
- Returns fully with maximum sparkle
In simple words, every angle of the stone is shaped carefully so that light goes inside and comes back out completely with brilliance.
If the cutting is not done properly:
- Even a beautiful blue stone can look dull
- The center may look transparent
- The stone may appear dark or lifeless
A correct cut increases both the beauty and the price of Tanzanite.
That is why two stones may look similar in pictures — but their prices can be very different in real life.

Why Does Gemstone Cut Make Such a Big Difference?
1. Sparkle and Brightness
A finely cut Tanzanite shines brightly. A poorly cut stone allows light to escape from the bottom, making it look flat or dim.
Sparkle comes from proper cutting.
2. The Window Effect
If you can see straight through the center of a stone, it is called windowing.
This happens when the stone is cut too shallow or at incorrect angles. Fine Cut Tanzanite avoids this problem and looks rich and deep instead of transparent.
3. Proper Balance and Shape
A well-cut stone has:
- Correct depth
- Balanced angles
- Even symmetry
If proportions are wrong, the stone may look heavy, dark, or lifeless. Fine cutting ensures balance and elegance.
4. Skilled Craftsmanship
Fine cutting requires experienced artisans, advanced precision tools, more time, and careful angle calculation.
Some extra weight is removed to achieve perfect sparkle. That is why Fine Cut Tanzanite often costs more — but looks far superior.
Why Fine Cut Matters Even More in Jewelry

When Tanzanite is set into jewelry, cut becomes even more important.
At Jewelspire, we offer beautifully crafted, fine cut:
Once a gemstone is mounted, less light enters from the bottom. Poorly cut stones lose even more sparkle.
But Fine Cut Tanzanite continues to shine beautifully even after setting, ensuring your ring, earrings, bracelet, or necklace looks luxurious from every angle.
How to Identify Fine Cut Tanzanite
- Rotate the stone under light — it should sparkle strongly.
- The center should not look transparent.
- Color should appear even across the stone.
- Facets should look sharp and symmetrical.
