The arrangement of diamonds here is reminiscent of a fanned-out tutu - and the ring type of the 'ballerina ring' is named after this impression. A total of around 1.56 ct of trapeze-cut diamonds are arranged on different levels, like tulle or fragrant petals. This means that the light hits a different diamond with every movement of the hand and an incomparably brilliant shine glides over the sculptural composition. At the center of the ring is a faceted tanzanite in a cool violet with a bluish tinge, which distinguishes it from amethyst. This gemstone with its ethereal color was only discovered in 1967 and named after its location in Tanzania. When we discovered this ring from the 1980s without its original center stone, we therefore opted for a tanzanite - due to its beauty, but also due to its topicality, as the stone was particularly fashionable in the first decades after its discovery. With its three-dimensional, voluminous structure and luxurious stones, the ring is a wonderful example of the jewellery of the 1980s, true to the motto: Dress for Success.

When gemologists brought the first blue gemstones from the steppe sands of Tanzania to New York in 1967, the company Tiffany & Co. secured the rights to this mineral, which is a thousand times rarer on the earth's surface than diamonds. Due to its rarity and beauty, it is not surprising that this gemstone from the savannahs of Tanzania soon became one of the most sought-after minerals in the jewelry industry.
