The 14K Gold Tanzanite Beaded Candy Necklace is a strand of rich blue-violet color made to wear every day. Tanzanite gemstone beads, 5 to 6mm, are hand-knotted on silk we custom dye lavender, finished with a tanzanite charm and a solid 14K yellow gold S-clasp, and adjust with a 2-inch extender.
It's part of our signature Candy Necklace collection: fine gemstone bead necklaces inspired by the colorful candy necklaces of childhood, made with real stones, silk, and solid gold. This one is one of a kind, so when it's gone, it's gone.
Why Tanzanite
Tanzanite is found in only one place on Earth: a small area near Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. It's prized for its deep blue-violet color, which can shift between blue and purple as it moves in the light. That rarity, plus its status as a December birthstone, makes a tanzanite bead necklace a true collector's piece.
A Gemstone Candy Necklace With a Charm
Every tanzanite bead is knotted by hand on lavender silk, which deepens the violet tones and lets the strand drape softly. A tanzanite charm adds a sweet finishing touch, and the solid 14K gold S-clasp with a 2-inch extender lets you adjust the length to suit your neckline or layered stack.

What is a candy necklace?

How do you care for a tanzanite bead necklace?
