When it comes to December birthstones, there’s no shortage of beauty to celebrate. Depending on who you ask, December offers three or even four options, but at LOVE SARO, we embrace Tanzanite as our birthstone of choice for this magical month. Why? Because Tanzanite isn’t just a gemstone--it’s a rare treasure that inspires clarity, intuition, and transformation. Its striking beauty makes it perfect for custom, fine permanent jewelry that’s not only stunning but also heirloom quality, designed to be cherished for generations.
A Stone Steeped in History and Mystery
Discovered in the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania in 1967, Tanzanite is considered one of the rarest gemstones in the world. Its captivating hues of deep blue and violet are unlike anything else, often shifting in color depending on the light. Tanzanite is said to be a thousand times rarer than diamonds, as its mining source is confined to a single small area in the world.
Why Wear Tanzanite?
Tanzanite is more than just a showstopper; it’s a gem of transformation. Whether you’re stepping into a new phase of life, navigating uncertainty, or seeking alignment between your goals and inner truth, Tanzanite is believed to guide you toward clarity and purpose. Wearing Tanzanite encourages confidence in decision-making, making it an ideal gemstone for leaders, creators, and anyone on a journey of self-discovery.
Beyond its metaphysical allure, Tanzanite’s rarity means every piece is an heirloom in the making. Its exclusivity adds an extra layer of meaning to December birthdays and celebrations.
A Personal Connection: Tanzanite in Action
As a creative, a mother, and the co-founder of a small but mighty business, there have been moments where I’ve questioned my instincts or felt unsure of the path forward. Tanzanite has been my anchor during those times. Wearing it has helped me trust my inner compass and step into my role as a leader with courage and authenticity.
One particularly memorable experience involved my husband, who--let’s just say--wasn’t initially a believer in the power of gemstones. During a stressful period in his entrepreneurial journey, I convinced him to add a Tanzanite charm to his existing chain. To his surprise, within three days, he experienced an unexpected wave of clarity, finalized a challenging decision, signed a lease, and laid out a clear plan forward. The shift was undeniable, and it reaffirmed for both of us the subtle yet profound influence of working with these stones.
