Being geologist myself, I had to look, what Tanzanite isShe had taken her stones to a few other high end jewelers in town and was rejected. She was made aware by several professionals that tanzanite is extremely fragile and the risk is high. In this situation, we are having our lapidarist recut the stone and we will make a new ring mounting for the new shape and size. Often this sort of thing is client risk on paper, and jeweler risk in practice.... and the jeweler eats the value of the stone to source a replacement. It's why jeweler's insurance exists.
