African Gem Cutter
Makes $2,689,000 Mistake...Will You?
T
his story breaks my heart every time. Allegedly, just two
years after the discovery of tanzanite in 1967, a Maasai
tribesman knocked on the door of a gem cutter’s office in
Nairobi. The Maasai had brought along an enormous chunk
of tanzanite and he was looking to sell. His asking price? Fifty
dollars. But the gem cutter was suspicious and assumed that a
stone so large could only be glass. The cutter told the
tribesman, no thanks, and sent him on his way. Huge mistake.
It turns out that the gem was genuine and would have easily
dwarfed the world’s largest cut tanzanite at the time. Based on
common pricing, that “chunk” could have been worth close
to $3,000,000!
The tanzanite gem cutter missed his chance to hit the
jeweler’s jackpot...and make history. Would you have made
the same mistake then? Will you make it today?
In the decades since its discovery, tanzanite has
become one of the world’s most coveted gemstones.
Found in only one remote place on Earth (in Tanzania’s
Merelani Hills, in the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro), the
precious purple stone is 1,000 times rarer than diamonds.
Luxury retailers have been quick to sound the alarm, warning
that supplies of tanzanite will not last forever. And in this
case, they’re right. Once the last purple gem is pulled from
the Earth, that’s it. No more tanzanite. Most believe that we
only have a few years supply left, which is why it’s so amazing
for us to offer this incredible price break. Some retailers along
Fifth Avenue are more than happy to charge you outrageous
prices for this rarity. Not Stauer. Staying true to our contrarian
nature, we’ve decided to
lower the price of one of the world’s
rarest and most popular gemstones.
Our 2-Carat
Sunburst Tanzanite Ring
features marquise-cut
gems set dramatically in gorgeous sterling silver. Each facet
sparkles with the distinct violet-blue hue of the precious
stones. Behind the shine you’ll find that the exquisite
silverwork of the setting calls to mind the detailed treasures
being produced by Europe’s finest jewelers. This is a ring
designed to impress and it does not disappoint.
Now is the point where opportunity knocks. If you open that
door today, you can own this spectacular ring for less than
$100. If you wait? We can’t say for sure.
Your satisfaction is completely guaranteed.
For our
client-friendly approach, Stauer has earned a rare
A+ rating
from the Better Business Bureau,
a rating we wish to keep.
So, of course, your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed. If you are
not completely aglow with the
Sunburst Tanzanite Ring,
send it back within 30 days for a prompt and courteous refund.
But, please don't wait, our supply is dropping rapidly.
