    Tanzanite is not a good stone for rings but it is fine for any other
    type of jewelry. Tanzanite is fragile and subject to easy breakage
    and hence isn't good for a ring that might get whacked. On the other
    hand, opal isn't good for rings either but that hasn't stopped my
    customers from wanting it in rings (which I sell to them with a
    whole potful of warnings). The difference however is that there is no
    other stone like opal on the market so if you want that in a ring
    that's all you can have. However there are many sapphires that are
    similar in color to tanzanites and they are much more durable so
    there really isn't an excuse in this case.
