From the dazzling sparkle of blue zircon to the timeless allure of turquoise, these gemstones make meaningful gifts for loved ones—or a stunning treat for yourself. Dive in to explore these December birthstones and find the piece that captures the magic of the season.
Tanzanite
Tanzanite is a stunning and relatively modern addition to the December birthstone family, discovered in the 1960s near the base of Tanzania's iconic Mount Kilimanjaro. This rare and exotic gemstone is celebrated for its captivating hues, which range from deep purple to violet and rich blue. Among these, the vibrant blue tones are the most highly prized and sought after, especially in larger stones that showcase richer and more vivid colors.
With a hardness of 6-7 on the Mohs scale, tanzanite is a durable gemstone but requires some care to maintain its beauty. It’s an excellent choice for earrings and pendants, where the stone is less likely to encounter scratches or impacts. For those who love tanzanite rings or bracelets, extra care is recommended to protect the gem’s surface.
Tanzanite’s mesmerizing beauty and unique origin make it a perfect gift for anyone who appreciates rare and unforgettable gemstones.
A Show-Stopping Tanzanite Pendant
One of the most breathtaking pieces in our collection is this custom-designed pendant from Park City Jewelers, featuring an extraordinary 29.70-carat tanzanite gemstone. What makes this gem truly unique are the dazzling red flashes that appear as it refracts light, adding an unforgettable touch of brilliance to its already mesmerizing blue and violet hues.
This masterpiece was designed by store owner Cole Whipple, showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail that defines Park City Jewelers. This one-of-a-kind pendant is truly a must-see for any tanzanite enthusiast or jewelry connoisseur.
The Symbolism and Craftsmanship of Tanzanite
Tanzanite is more than just a beautiful gemstone—it’s associated with profound meanings, including introspection, positivity, wisdom, truth, and spirituality. Its vibrant violet and purple hues carry powerful symbolism in color energy, often representing royalty, beauty, and grace.
At Park City Jewelers, we take pride in offering a wide selection of custom tanzanite jewelry, each piece designed to capture the stunning brilliance and elegance of this exceptional gemstone. Every tanzanite stone in our collection has been carefully hand-selected from hundreds to ensure only the most striking and radiant gems are featured.

Over the centuries, turquoise has been featured in jewelry, ceremonial masks, and even weaponry, showcasing its enduring cultural significance.
