SPOTLIGHT 市场聚焦 GEMSWORLD | 41 | 2026 balance between visual impact and price accessibility, making them popular among collectors and first-time buyers,” said Dangayach. “Meanwhile, we are seeing a noticeable shift towards larger centre stones – 3 carats and above – for statement pieces.” Gem specialists agreed that buyers are increasingly prioritising a rich, saturated blue-violet colour, a clean appearance and precision cut that bring out tanzanite’s characteristic pleochroism. “Buyers favour tanzanite bearing premium and exceptional qualities,” said Phophaliya, citing strong interest in special cuts, exclusive gems and custom layouts. Banking on fine gems Despite encouraging fundamentals, the tanzanite sector faces business challenges and supply issues, specifically maintaining a stable flow of fine-quality materials to the market. Dangayach said illegal mining, environmental degradation and fluctuating export regulations in Tanzania could easily disrupt the supply chain. Long-term sustainability therefore will depend on ongoing investments in responsible mining practices and infrastructure upgrades, he added. Macroeconomic and geopolitical headwinds are also impacting operations. Phophaliya said US tariff concerns and high gold prices have weighed heavily on sales of medium and lower price-point items. Demand for higherend and finer-quality tanzanite, however, remains stable. In response, AG Color has been transitioning further into premium tanzanite to align with market demand. AG Color now focuses on larger stones of 3 carats up to 100 carats, positioning the company as a go-to supplier of fine-quality singles, calibrated pairs, suites and fancy cuts – an approach that caters to luxury jewellery brands. Looking ahead, both Dangayach and Phophaliya anticipate gradual, sustainable growth, underpinned by more consumers seeking distinctive coloured gemstones and jewellers giving tanzanite a more prominent spot in their product portfolios. For instance, Bulgari’s Polychroma Tanzanite Falls necklace and Tiffany & Co’s Bird on a Rock Collection both shone the spotlight on tanzanite, highlighting its potential as a high jewellery stone. “New collections launched by prestigious jewellery brands have featured tanzanite beautifully – this will certainly help raise the gem’s profile globally,” said Phophaliya. 坦桑石作为一颗冉冉新星,广泛获得具鉴赏力的买 家认可,市场对其需求也相当稳定。这种蓝紫色宝 石,目前已在当代宝石界的色彩谱系中确立了牢 固的地位。 这种宝石于1960年代末在坦桑尼亚被发现,至今仍仅 产自坦桑尼亚梅雷拉尼山脉(Merelani Hills)、乞力马扎罗山 (Mount Kilimanjaro)附近的单一矿区。其珍贵之处在于多色 性——在不同光线下会呈现不同的蓝、紫色调。 Color Jewels董事总经理Ashish Dangayach表示:“坦桑 石以鲜活的色彩脱颖而出,其独特性在宝石界无出其右。而 稀有性更赋予这种宝石神秘魅力,吸引着追求富有意义、美 感非凡且有别于主流宝石的珠宝买家。” 作为TanzaniteOne的看货商,Color Jewels以美国及欧洲 部分地区为坦桑石业务的主要市场。在新冠疫情导致需求放 缓后,这些地区对坦桑石的需求已逐步回暖,而印度等新兴 市场的销售也正持续增长。 Dangayach认为:“市场对坦桑石的信心正在恢复。现有 及新零售合作伙伴为拓展彩色宝石产品线而陆续加单,便反 映了这一点。” 推动复苏的因素包括:消费者对独特且符合道德标准的 宝石兴趣日益浓厚,加上坦桑尼亚加强采矿监管,有效稳定 了供应。 TanzaniteOne另一家看货商AG Color Inc的东家Hemant Phophaliya同样认为,坦桑石在全球吸引力与日俱增,尤其在 印度等活跃市场,其影响力已超越美国和欧洲等传统据点。 Phophaliya指出:“随着钻石价格下滑,消费者正转向彩 色宝石,优质彩宝的价格节节攀升。” 最佳表现 Dangayach指出,2024年坦桑石价格温和上涨,归因于需 求稳定与供应受限,而非投机炒作。 他表示,10克拉以上的优质坦桑石每克拉可达1,500美元 以上,具体价格取决于颜色和净度;而低等级宝石每克拉售 价在100至300美元之间。 “目前AA级(优质)和AAA级(顶级)的2至5克拉区间需求 旺盛,这类宝石在视觉冲击力与价格可接受性之间取得平 衡,深受收藏家和初次购买者欢迎。”Dangayach补充道,“与 此同时,我们注意到市场正明显转向镶嵌更大尺寸主石的大 型珠宝,如3克拉或以上主石。” 宝石专家一致认为,买家日渐偏好饱和度高的蓝紫色调、 无瑕外观及精准切割工艺,这些特质能充分展现坦桑石独特 的多色性。 “买家偏好具备卓越和独特品质的坦桑石,”Phophaliya 指市场对特殊切割、稀有宝石及定制宝石套装的需求殷切。 看好优质宝石 尽管基本客观因素令人鼓舞,坦桑石行业仍面临诸多商 业挑战和供应问题,特别是如何维持优质原料稳定流入市 场。Dangayach表示,坦桑尼亚的非法采矿、环境退化和出口 法规波动都可能轻易扰乱供应链。 他补充道,因此长期可持续发展将取决于贯彻执行负责 任采矿,以及基础设施升级的投资。 宏观经济与地缘政治逆风同样影响着行业运营 。 Phophaliya指出,美国关税与金价高企严重拖累了中低价 位产品的销售,但高端优质坦桑石需求依然稳定。为此,AG Color正加速转型,专注高端坦桑石业务,以契合市场需求。 目前,AG Color聚焦于3克拉至100克拉的大型宝石,将公 司定位为优质单颗宝石、配对宝石、宝石套装及花式切割宝 石的首选供应商,以这策略精准满足奢侈珠宝品牌的需求。 展望未来,Dangayach与Phophaliya均预期行业将实现 平稳的可持续增长,受惠于更多消费者追求独特彩色宝石, 以及珠宝商在产品组合中以坦桑石为亮点,大大提升了坦桑 石的曝光度。 例如宝格丽Polychroma高级珠宝系列中的“坦桑石瀑 布”(Tanzanite Falls)项链,还有蒂芙尼“石上鸟”系列,均以坦 桑石为主角,彰显其作为高级珠宝宝石的潜力。 Phophaliya说:“知名珠宝品牌推出的新系列尽显坦桑石 的独特闪烁色调,这必将提升这种宝石的全球知名度。”
