Before you choose
How to choose a necklace
Length is the whole look
16 inches sits at the collarbone, 18 at the first button, 20 and up reads as a layer. Measure a chain you already love.
One pendant or a layer
A single stone on a fine chain works every day; layers want mixed lengths two inches apart so they never tangle.
Chain gauge matters more than metal
Under 1.2 mm kinks with daily wear. Ours start at 1.4 mm for anything carrying a stone.
Clasps are a daily ritual
Lobster clasps for security, slider bolos for one-handed dressing. We fit either at the same price.
The short answer
Tanzanite pendant necklaces at Made With Color: one one of a kind work at $1,940, each built around a stone chosen loose, in daylight, in New York. Violet blue from one hill in Tanzania, evening in a stone. Every stone ships with a passport naming origin, carat, cut, and any treatment in plain words. One stone on a chain, the jewel most worn and least taken off in the whole catalog.
About tanzanite
Violet blue from one hill in Tanzania, evening in a stone. We choose every stone loose, in daylight, and every work above carries a passport that says exactly what it is.
CHOOSING THE STYLE
On the style
Choose the chain length first, then a stone scaled to it: 8 mm at 18 inches is the studio default.
Start with hardness
Tanzanite is 6.5 / 10 on the Mohs scale. For daily rings, choose a bezel or low prongs; for earrings and pendants, wear it freely.
Fit before beauty
16 inches sits at the collarbone, 18 at the first button, 20 and up reads as a layer.
Then the look
Choose the chain length before the pendant. Measure a chain already loved.
What pendant size is right?
At 18 inches, 7 to 9 mm of stone reads present without announcing. Above 12 mm the pendant becomes the outfit.
Is tanzanite good for necklaces?
Tanzanite is 6.5 / 10 on the Mohs scale. Pendants swing free of hard knocks, which makes them the right home for softer stones.
Which birthstone is tanzanite?
Tanzanite is the Dec birthstone and the traditional stone of the 24th anniversary. We set it for both, and for no occasion at all.
Are these stones treated?
Untreated unless the passport says otherwise. When a stone of ours is heated or grown in a lab, the passport says so in that word, in the same type size as everything else, and the price reflects it.
How do these wear?
Pendants swing free of harm, which is why soft stones live happily here.
