Meet Your Tanzanite Gemologist
Hi, I’m Linda — Kiwi born, internationally trained gemmologist and former member of the TanzaniteOne Mining and Tanzanite Foundation teams in Africa. Over my career, I’ve examined literally millions of tanzanites.
I personally hand-select every stone we offer, choosing only the finest for colour, clarity, and cutting — so you can buy with complete confidence.
My blend of global expertise and straight-up, down-to-earth practical guidance means you’ll always receive honest advice, trusted support, and truly exceptional tanzanite.
If you’re looking for the best tanzanite for your budget, just reach out. I’ll sort through our hundreds of stones and send you a curated shortlist to choose from.
Buying gemstones online is a big leap of faith — but with my expertise, I’ll make sure your budget gets you a larger, higher-quality, more beautiful tanzanite than you’d typically find in local stores.
