Named for the flower that carries the color of twilight, the Iris pairs a romantic oval-cut stone in tanzanite’s violet-blue with a shimmering halo of simulated diamonds, all set on a blush 14K rose gold vermeil band. This oval tanzanite ring marries antique charm with a comfort-fit shank made for everyday wear — and a meaningful December birthstone at its heart.

A vintage-inspired halo
The Iris takes its cue from antique jewelry — an elongated oval cradled in a sparkling halo that stretches the finger and gives the design a graceful, feminine lift. It is understated glamour rather than loud statement, the kind of ring that flatters every hand and slips easily from ceremony to Tuesday. If a soft, romantic silhouette speaks to you, you will feel right at home among our tanzanite engagement rings.
The violet-blue oval
At the center sits a simulated tanzanite, cut as an 8.0 × 6.0 mm oval and created to hold tanzanite’s celebrated violet-blue — that dreamy in-between shade that reads deep blue in daylight and warmer violet by lamplight. It gives you the most coveted color in the gem world with confident, easygoing durability for daily life. To understand why couples keep gravitating to this stone, our guide to tanzanite meaning is a beautiful starting point, and there are coordinating pieces throughout our tanzanite jewelry range.
A halo of simulated diamonds
Encircling the oval is a hand-set halo of simulated diamonds (cubic zirconia), chosen for a crisp, brilliant flash that makes the violet-blue center glow all the deeper. It is a bright, budget-friendly way to add classic engagement-ring sparkle, and it frames the oval so the whole ring catches light from every angle.
14K rose gold vermeil
The Iris is crafted in sterling silver 925 and finished in 14K rose gold vermeil — real gold layered over precious silver — so you get the blush warmth of rose gold on a nickel-free, skin-friendly base. The comfort-fit shank is gently rounded on the inside for a smooth, secure feel across a full day of wear. See how the warm tone suits other stones across our gemstone engagement rings.
The December birthstone
Tanzanite is a modern December birthstone, which makes the Iris a heartfelt pick for winter birthdays, holiday proposals and December anniversaries. Its violet-blue tones are long associated with intuition, calm and new beginnings. For the full backstory, see our complete December birthstone guide and our history of gemstones guide.

Frequently asked questions
Is the tanzanite natural or simulated?
The center is a simulated tanzanite — a created stone made to capture tanzanite’s signature violet-blue color. We state it clearly because honesty matters: you get the gem’s famous color, easygoing durability and a friendly price.
What color is the oval in person?
A rich violet-blue that shifts with the light — deeper blue in daylight, warmer violet by lamplight. It is the color tanzanite is celebrated for.
How big is the center stone?
The oval measures 8.0 × 6.0 mm, roughly 1.21 carats — an elegant, elongated presence that flatters the finger without overwhelming it.
What are the accent stones?
The halo is set with simulated diamonds (cubic zirconia), hand-placed for a bright, brilliant sparkle around the violet-blue oval.
What is rose gold vermeil?
Rose gold vermeil is real 14K rose gold layered over sterling silver 925 — the warm look of gold at a far easier price. If you would prefer gold throughout, the same design is also available in solid gold.
Is the comfort-fit band really more comfortable?
Yes — the inside of the shank is gently rounded, so the ring glides on and sits smoothly against the finger, which many people prefer for all-day wear.
Is this ring hypoallergenic?
Yes. It is nickel-free and hypoallergenic, built on a sterling silver 925 base, so it is comfortable for sensitive skin.
Is tanzanite the December birthstone?
Yes — tanzanite is a modern December birthstone, making the Iris a lovely birthday, anniversary or holiday-season proposal choice. Explore more in our tanzanite jewelry collection.
Can this be a promise ring instead of an engagement ring?
Absolutely. Its romantic halo and meaningful December birthstone make it equally loved as a promise ring, anniversary ring or milestone gift.
Does it come with a matching wedding band?
This listing is for the engagement ring only. Coordinating wedding bands are available separately, and you can browse pairing ideas across our tanzanite couples rings.
How do I care for my ring?
Remove it before showering, swimming or exercise, avoid contact with lotions and fragrance, and store it dry in its velvet box. A soft dry cloth restores the shine beautifully.
Are the stones ethically sourced?
Yes. All Aquamarise® stones are conflict-free and ethically sourced, and every order arrives gift-ready in a free luxury velvet box with our lifetime warranty.
