Birthstones are gemstones that are associated with particular months. Many people choose to wear their birthstone as part of their daily jewellery styling. We have put together a December birthstone gift guide to help you to find the perfect gift for your loved one with a December birthday. The birthstone for December is tanzanite. This gemstone has an exquisite blue-purple colour that gives it a distinct appearance. The gemstone is only found in Tanzania, making it a very desirable choice for jewellery. It was designated as December’s modern birthstone in 2002 and has been a firm favourite ever since.
An expert hand is required to cut tanzanite in order to ensure that the optimal colour is seen from the front surface. Tanzanite is a pleochroic gemstone. This means that is appears to be different colours when it is viewed from different directions. Therefore, a gem cutter must thoroughly assess a tanzanite stone before cutting it to ensure they are making this most of this beautiful gemstone. This makes tanzanite jewellery very special as it requires a lot of skill to create. If you are interested in tanzanite jewellery, keep reading for our December birthstone gift guide.
