Paraiba International.com's Colored Gems and Jewels are a Huge Hit Online in Spring with Spotlight on Tanzanite

According to Paraiba International, colored gemstone's strong sales-online during the spring can be attributed toward consumers' attraction to Tanzanite, a gorgeous blue violet gem-originating in Tanzania. Top quality Tanzanite retails for $500 to $800 per-carat, an attractive price compared to the exorbitant figures of diamonds, and is a smart investment.

Despite being lesser known, Tanzanite is widely responsible for-Paraiba International's success online. Tanzanite's vibrant strong blue purplish hue is a show stopper which consumers find too good to pass up. Tanzanite is mined in Arusha, Tanzania, the only location where Tanzanite can be found. Tanzanite was-discovered in the late '80's and subsequently-marketed heavily by Tiffany & Co.

Paraiba International, the internet's first and only e-tailor of exclusively exquisite gems and jewels, carries over 30 different varieties of top-notch gemstones including Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, the more-common household names, yet Tanzanite is clearly the most-sought after by it's customers. Dating back to 2000, and perhaps even before, It was widely believed that Tanzanite's supply would deplete within 5-10 years because it appeared that the miners were digging near the bottom of the mines. Tanzanite's supply is indeed-dwindling, but not quite as rapidly as originally believed. The great demand and diminishing supply are a recipe for a solid investment, which consumers-are well aware of. The-price of the top 1% averages $500 per carat, an affordable-price, and it's forecasted to go as high as $1,000 per carat.. a 100% return on investment. There's no question that Tanzanite's beauty is incomparable to any-other gemstone, but the fear of a missed opportunity also played a huge factor in Tanzanite's steady online sales-during the spring.

Tanzanite accounts-for more than half of Paraiba International's online sales despite carrying over 30 different options of gemstones. Paraiba International expects continued success with Tanzanite going forward into the summer.
