TANZANITE BY AMODORIA

Tanzanite by Amodoria is an internationally recognized trademark which is a guarantee of the best quality. We work with you to select the perfect Tanzanite for you.


RESPONSIBLE MINING

Our sister company, Glitter Gems Ltd., has grown to become Tanzania's prominent fair trade and mining companies in fine coloured gemstones and minerals. We mine and process our own gems. We can guarantee the pedigree of our gems, from start to finish.

Glitter Gems Ltd. operates according to international mining standards. Our five active shafts are located in Block D of the Merelani area, which is known to have the best sapphire-blue coloured Tanzanite stones, giving us influence over the global supply of high quality gemstones. Our stones are all ethically sourced and processed because we believe not only in creating the standard in the Tanzanite industry, in the fair treatment of Tanzanian miners and workers, but also in protecting the end consumer from the purchase of illegally sourced or poor quality gemstones.


COOPERATIVE SOURCING

As one of the early founders of modern Tanzanite mining in Merelani, we enjoy a trusted reputation and work with legal local mining operators. If you cannot find the perfect special stone in our investment collection, we can source it for you.

Through Glitter Gems Ltd., Amodoria enjoys a close relationship with local miners. This puts us in a unique position to consistently deliver on both quality and quantity from the limited resource base. We can reserve or even custom search for the most exclusive rough and investment collection stones for our buyers – stones which are otherwise not easily and responsibly sourced.


EXPERT CUTTING

At Amodoria, we offer only exclusive, expertly cut Tanzanite gemstones. Located in the Czech Republic, our expert craftsmen draw on centuries of gem cutting tradition. Our modern cutting facilities and methods ensure the hallmark of European quality.

Once we have found the perfect piece of Tanzanite, we processes and cut the rough into the perfect stone. We choose our master cutters from only the most experienced and knowledgeable craftsmen in their trade. Their tradition and artistry draws out the true essence of each and every stone, giving our gems a spirit of their own.

Below the majestic snow-capped Kilimanjaro lies a rare treasure more precious than diamonds, more profound than the deepest ocean, and more brilliant than the brightest star. Called the Gift from the Gods by the Maasai who first discovered it half a century ago, the Spirit of Exclusivity is at the heart of every beautiful stone of Tanzanite by Amodoria.



1967 – Birth of an African Beauty
Discovered by the Maasai in a remote region below Kilimanjaro, the spectacular blue Tanzanite gets it name from the only country in the world where it is found. Christened by Tifffany & Co., this precious new gem was quickly recognized as

...the most beautiful blue stone to be discovered in 2000 years.
(Harry Plat, President of Tiffany & Co.)

2002 - Honouring Beauty
Tanzanite’s mystical qualities and magical blue hues have so enthralled amateurs and professionals alike, that it is the only gemstone to be added as a birthstone since 1912 – for the month of December. Tanzanite is now also the gem which represents a 24th anniversary.

2017 – Celebrating Beauty & Exclusivity
Celebrating its 55th anniversary, today Tanzanite deposits are localized to eight square kilometres in the Merelani Hills in Tanzania. A true investment, this rare gem is expected to become extinct within the next decade.

Recognized in 1967 by Tiffany & Co. as one of the most fascinating finds in world of gemstones in the last two millennia, Tanzanite almost instantaneously became sought after by gemologists and jewellery designers worldwide. Found in only one location in the world, Tanzanite’s vibrant deep blue colour and exceptional clarity continue to captivate those with an eye for beauty and appreciation for exceptional gemstones.

This year this exotic and distinctive African beauty celebrates its 55th anniversary, and Amodoria is proud to continue the tradition of its unique history and unfolding beauty. But 2022 marks a new beginning for Tanzanite as well. As resources of this glamorous gemstone begin to disappear, Tanzanite by Amodoria brings you a premium collection of high quality, brilliantly sparkling stones underlined by their ethical origin and certification.
