Selecting Simulated Tanzanite Rings

When selecting tanzanite costume jewelry or fine simulated tanzanite engagement rings, the price will be determined primarily by the setting you choose, be it white or yellow gold or sterling silver.

White and Yellow Gold Tanzanite Rings from HSN

Yellow and white gold tanzanite rings cost from around $450 to over $1,000 whereas the same design in silver will cost from $65 to $100 and maybe a little more if the design is really unusual or is made by a specific designer. But in general, what you pay for in a simulated or faux gemstone ring is the precious metal, the stones themselves are not very expensive. You also pay for the brand name or the designer in some cases, like, for example the pieces that sell through HSN, which are by Victoria Wieck, cost about $130 even though they are only set in silver.

The reason some pieces are more than others is that the ring itself is finely crafted with lots of simulated diamonds or cubic zirconia and are not what you’d call cheap costume jewelry. For example the HSN item we feature above is a rich blue tanzanite ring with a mix of white baguette, channel and bezel set stones around a 5.42 carat simulated tanzanite stone that’s prong set, and a zillion pave gems on the sides of the band and the dome. The band itself is rhodium plated 925 sterling silver, but may also be ordered in a gold-tone version for the same price.

HSN has lots of styles to choose from, and some are more affordable than others, like the marquise cut tanzanite cocktail ring that’s bordered by clear round pave set cubic zirconia and a simulated tanzanite stone that’s over 11 carats. The band is sterling silver rhodium plated or gold vermeil for the same price of just under $100. If you’ve been dreaming of finding a place that sells affordable tanzanite engagement rings, then you may want to go on an HSN shopping spree.

If you’re looking for a tanzanite gold ring that’s contemporary chic and really unusual, have a look in the HSN Dalia Jewelry Collection which isn’t gold at all but yellow Technibond. This wide band with a circular .75 carat tanzanite simulated gem has an unusual textured border. It comes in ring sizes 5 through 10 and is available online.

Just to compare genuine tanzanite engagement rings with the simulated versions, have a look at the real thing, also sold through HSN, and now look at the price. The 3.06ct 18k white gold tanzanite ring costs $4,000, and the ones above and below cost under $100 or thereabouts.

Earths Treasure for Ladies & Mens Tanzanite Rings

There’s another place to order simulated tanzanite rings that are really affordable in silver and that is a place called Earths Treasure. Despite their website being difficult to use, they do know their gemstones and jewelry and offer a huge selection of ladies and mens tanzanite rings in silver or white gold or yellow gold. You can quickly see the price difference depending on the metal you select.

For example the textured emerald cut mens tanzanite rings that are set in white gold cost $472 and the same ring in silver costs just over $70. But there are other designs with a 1 carat simulated tanzanite stone that costs just over $1,000 in white or yellow gold and just $96 in silver. The difference is the amount of gold in the band. Some wide mens rings will be quite large and use a lot of gold. If you’re trying to get value and affordability in one, you’ll have to go with a thinner gold band. For this reason the ladies white gold tanzanite ring designs that have a large solitaire stone but are set in a delicate gold band cost much less. For example there’s a classic Tiffany designed tanzanite ring with a 2 carat stone set in solid 14k yellow or white gold for under $225. The silver version of the same piece is under $50.

For example they have a gorgeous antique style filigree ring with a little tanzanite gem in a delicate and lacy band that is solid 14k white gold and costs just $299.

This rng can easily be paired with a diamond eternity ring to create a complete dainty and sparkling wedding set.

There are some other very affordable choice in real, not simulated, gems like the tanzanite florette and diamond ring that’s also set in 14K white gold for just $225, and a vintage fleur-de-lis style for just over $300. And for something unique and still affordable, there’s a white gold art deco piece that has a crown design for just $299.
