FROM MINE TO MASTERPIECE
What Makes Us Different
Unlike most other gemstone websites, who resell products sourced from jewelers and wholesalers, at Tanzanite Direct we do everything in-house: from cutting and polishing our own gemstones to crafting the stunning jewelry pieces you can find on this website.
We are one of the very few jewelry companies that manage every step of the process, from sourcing to final product. If you own any tanzanite gemstone or jewelry, there's a good chance it came from us, as we are one of the largest tanzanite wholesalers in the world, supplying globally to big-name brands.
Every year, we source thousands of carats of rough tanzanite directly from the mine. These gems are cut and polished by our expert team, then set by our master jewelers. Thanks to our control over the entire process, we can offer you:
- First access to premium rough, straight from the mine
- No middlemen
- No unnecessary markups
- Pricing that reflects real value
- Full chain of custody and control of responsible production
- Guaranteed authenticity & origin
Third Party Proof
APPRAISALS
We always encourage independent appraisals. This pair of our earrings, for example, was verified to have a replacement value of over $5,000 more than we had them listed for. This appraisal was undertaken by a registered, fulled trained gemologist working for a respected Appraisal company.
An appraisal usually costs around $150 - and usuallly yuour local jeweler will be able to do this for you, if you dont have a dedicated appraiser locally.
$150 Back When You Share Your Appraisal
If you share a copy of an independent appraisal you've had undertaken art your local jeweller with us, plus give permission to publish it (we’re creating a customer gallery), we’ll refund $150 to you.
For the most unbiased result, simply drop the item to your local jeweller without sharing any paperwork or details about where you bought your tanzanite. This gives you a truly independent valuation you can trust completely. Then send us in a copy of the appraisal and well refund you $150.00

Our loose tanzanite gemstones collection showcases the top 1% of tanzanite produced every year. Fewer than ten in every thousand stones meet our exacting standards for color, clarity, brilliance and cut.
We don’t list hundreds of average gems—we offer you only the rare and striking ones that truly stand out.
