There's something about this image of our orange sapphire ring from our collaboration with @jenniferdawesdesign that speaks to renewal. The warm, bright color, glimmer, and sparkle atop a seemingly clean, yet weathered slate feels hopeful and inspires new possibilities. We're only a week into 2018, so we're still feeding off these vibes and hope you find as much inspiration in this as we do! Happy goal setting and achieving in this new year!!! #dreambig #nolimits #setgoals #greatthingsarepossible #gemsforchange #responsiblegems #gemstonejewelry #jewelrywithapurpose #sapphire #orange #diamonds #gold #ring #jenniferdawesdesign #kenya #tanzania

When we arrived at this zircon mine near Kipuma, this team was firing on all cylinders - each person playing their unique part almost like musicians working together rhythmically and harmoniously. It was a thing of beauty to be sure. It's such a privilege to visit these mines and see the different methods employed. The common thread is the determination and pride of the miners. We love supporting these hard working men and women with proceeds from all ANZA Gems sales. #gemsforchange #straighttothesource #ethicalgems #responsiblesourcing #responsiblegems #miningmonday #gemstonemining #zircon #tanzania #hardwork #harmony #gemstones

Happy #miningmonday Oh the red dirt of East Africa! One of our favorite shots of a community based mine in Kenya. Vast, majestic, beautiful. An important reminder of why we do what we do at ANZA and sharing the origin story of all our pieces. #gemsforchange #ethicalgems #responsiblegems #responsiblesourcing #mining #eastafrica #kenya #cbo #communitybased #gems #gemstones #originstory #origins
