Tsavorite: The Vibrant Green Treasure Worth Obsessing Over
Tsavorite isn’t just a gemstone—it’s an entire essence. A dazzling green that feels like it was plucked straight from the heart of the jungle, tsavorite is one of the understated superstars of the gem world. Rare, radiant, and a little rebellious (call it the cooler cousin of emerald), this stone has a backstory and beauty that deserve a spotlight. And since it’s January’s birthstone, what better time?
Let us set the scene: It’s the 1960s, and tsavorite is discovered in the wilds of Kenya’s Tsavo National Park. Naturally, whispers of its lush green magic began circulating. Said to symbolize vitality, renewal, and prosperity, tsavorite quickly became a good luck charm for the dreamers and doers of the world. And unlike emeralds (who tend to need a little help to shine), tsavorite is the real deal—no treatments, no enhancements. What you see is exactly what Mother Nature intended.
If tsavorite were a person, it’d be the effortlessly chic one who always gets compliments at the party. It’s less common than an emerald, making it exclusive, even mysterious– and comes in a range of greens, from a bright grassy to a dark, rich forest.
This January, we’re rolling out the green carpet (how Wicked of us) for tsavorite with pieces that bring this gem’s brilliance to life. Whether you’re going for bold or subtle, we’ve got a design to match your vibe.
