Hello,
I intended on buying this lot on Catawiki, but for a 1.5 carat tanzanite, Antwerp certified, it seems a bit cheap to me. Please help with a straightforward opinion whether such tanzanite is a worthy investment or whether it’s yet another scam!
Much appreciated!
Kind regards,
Noni
Hi, Noni!
No, I wouldn’t be concerned that this might be a scam. You see, tanzanites are not very expensive. Therefore, there are not too many fake tanzanites around.
Visual characteristics are definitive – it is natural tanzanite. It looks pretty nice. Far from perfect but nice.
You should note that 1.5-carat tanzanite is really nothing special. This size would be something for a diamond but not for tanzanite. Loose tanzanite of this size and quality can be bought for under $100. Thus, the most expensive part here is the 18K ring setting, not tanzanite
So, you have no reason to get confused by this price. I’d say, it is reasonable, provided you like the ring and are buying it to wear.
However, if you are considering it as an investment (you mentioned “investment”), then there is really nothing to invest in.
Hope this helps!
Sincerely, Editor J
