FROM MINE TO MASTERPIECE
What Makes Us Different
Unlike most other gemstone websites, who resell products sourced from jewelers and wholesalers, at Tanzanite Direct we do everything in-house: from cutting and polishing our own gemstones to crafting the stunning jewelry pieces you can find on this website.
We are one of the very few jewelry companies that manage every step of the process, from sourcing to final product. If you own any tanzanite gemstone or jewelry, there's a good chance it came from us, as we are one of the largest tanzanite wholesalers in the world, supplying globally to big-name brands.
Every year, we source thousands of carats of rough tanzanite directly from the mine. These gems are cut and polished by our expert team, then set by our master jewelers. Thanks to our control over the entire process, we can offer you:
- First access to premium rough, straight from the mine
- No middlemen
- No unnecessary markups
- Pricing that reflects real value
- Full chain of custody and control of responsible production
- Guaranteed authenticity & origin

peace of mind
responsibly produced
Most retailers can’t trace the origin of their gemstones—or even tell you who cut them or crafted the jewelry. We can.
Every tanzanite we sell is fully traceable to its exact source in Merelani, Tanzania. We oversee every step of the stones' journey—from the mine to the master cutter to the final piece—ensuring total transparency and integrity.
GEMOLOGICAL INTEGRITY
Expert Eyes You Can Trust
We understand that buying fine gemstones online can be fraught with uncertainty—so we’ve done everything to help you shop with clarity and confidence.

Her expert process guarantees that each gem is:
- Eye-clean and flawless to the naked eye
- Expertly cut for brilliance and light return
- Free from brown, yellow, or grey undertones
- Vibrant, lively, and evenly colored
- Free from windowing or extinction
- Verified for flaws that grading reports can miss
Thanks to Linda’s rigorous process, you never have to second-guess your purchase.
