Hamsa Kaf Fatimah Necklace — Azure Enamel & Natural Tanzanite in 925 Silver

A Hamsa hand — the Kaf Fatima — carved in 925 sterling silver and filled with hand-applied azure blue enamel, held in an openwork round frame with a genuine tanzanite bezel-set at the protective eye. Azure sits at the clear, vivid end of the blue spectrum — sky rather than navy — and the closed bezel deepens the tanzanite toward a sapphire-blue with violet flashes. A note on colour, from our gemologist: tanzanite is strongly pleochroic and vitreous, so its violet-blue shifts with the angle and temperature of light. Under the cool studio lighting used for our photographs the stone reads brighter and more vivid; in everyday light it sits about two shades deeper and more subdued. This is the nature of a lively natural stone, not a variation in quality. At 22 mm and 10.1 g on a 40 cm chain, it reads substantial without weighing on the neck. Each natural tanzanite is inspected by our in-house gemologist, Elie Ammoun, Graduate Gemologist (IGI), with independent certification available on request.
