    Tanzanite Fancy Ring
    I visited museum while there and decided after return to USA that I really wanted a piece of jewelry. I picked my stone first and then the setting I wanted for it and the team there made my ring happen. They were patient with me over the course of a couple of months and I finally received my ring. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT and it's an investment for when tanzanite will no longer be available to purchase. Thank you to The Tanzanite Experience team
    Dear Guest, We are truly appreciative of this incredible review, thanks much for taking out time to write it! :) It gives us great pleasure reading that you not only visited us physically, but that prompted you to work with us while abroad, and that through working with us, you got something that you absolutely love, now that is truly special!, thanks for giving us the opportunity! :) Indeed, Tanzanites being an heirloom, are definitely a worthwhile investment, good decision! :) Hoping to serve you once more.

    Great
    My wife and I had a trip plan to Tanzania last Fall but we had to cancel due to a rare cancer that I have had for over 7 years returned. I had to have surgery right away. I'm now a 4 time cancer survivor. My wife had her sights set on a Tanzanite ring so I called the Tanzanite Experience and asked if it was cheaper to buy in Tanzania and was told I could get the same price ordering from their website. Juaid Khan worked with us and we ended up with a fantastic ring. It took about 3 months to re-size and receive it but boy was it worth the wait.
    Dear Guest, Sincerely thanking you for this classic review. We are so sorry to hear about your illness, and we pray for your speediest recovery! Thank you for giving us a try, and most importantly for your patience, as we try our utmost to ensure our guests get exactly what they want especially when purchasing online. Lovely to hear that Junaid assisted you well throughout the process! It is our earnest hope that we will get a chance once more to serve you in the future! :)

    Wonderful Experience
    I loved my experience at The Tanzanite Experience. Got to meet Beverly there who educated us very well on everything involving tanzanite, it’s mining process , took us through the museum. She did a really good job at explaining everything.
    Dear Guest, We have read your review and are quite pleased! Thanks so much for that. Seems you had a blast with Beverly, not to show off but we truly have a remarkable team, we are delighted you got assisted very well! :) See you again soon?

    Nice and small museum with very pleasant staff.
    The Tanzanite Experience is a (free) small but very informative museum. Our guide, Beverly, walked us through and gave us a detailed explanation of what tanzanite is, how it's mined and refined, and what are the characteristics. Beverly was very nice and smiley and it was an overall pleasant visit. There is also a shop in front of the museum. I had a limited budget, but Beverly helped me choose the perfect set to match my wishes with my budget. She also advised me on what looked good on me and on the quality of the tanzanite jewellery. I was also congratulated on becoming one of tanzanite owners. It was a nice experience shopping there. The jewellery is more expensive compared to the jewellery stores on the street, however, Tanzanite Experience provided me with all certificates and advised me on how to declare / what to show at the airport, so I feel it was definitely worth it. Therefore, Tanzanie Experience recommended.
    Dear Guest, Wow, that was extremely pleasing to read, thanks so much for taking out your time in writing it! :) We couldn't be happier that you had the awesome experience that you did, especially with Beverly, well done to her for keeping up the highest standard and living up to our name! :) Yes, with Tanzanite Experience, one should never be worried about price, as we try our best to ensure we are well stocked up so we have something for everyone, and grateful that this worked well for you. Thanks once more for your visit and for recommending us, until next time...!

    Very professional, helpful and friendly Staff and management. Excellent selection of stones and jewellery
    I had lost a Tanzanite stone from my unworn bracelet I bought from tanzanite experience in Zanzibar on my last trip. Hasnain offered to replace the stone for me for free. Instead I opted for a replacement bracelet which he agreed to. I found Edward, the staff at Serena shop to be very professional, courteous, friendly and helpful. The bracelet had to be sent to Arusha for resizing and all this was done in an efficient manner and returned to me in time before I left Zanzibar.
    Thank you for your kind review! We're sorry to hear about the lost Tanzanite stone but are glad that Mr Hasnain and Edward could assist you so effectively. We’re pleased to know you found Edward's service professional and helpful, and that the resizing and replacement were handled efficiently. Your satisfaction is our top priority. Thank you for your support and understanding. We hope you enjoy your new bracelet, and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future! Warm regards, The Tanzanite Experience Team

    Unparalleled Experience
    I can't exaggerate how good this buying experience was. I visited the outlet in the Four Points hotel in Arusha. Elitruda waited on me and led me meticulously through the process of selecting a cutting and selecting a setting. The gem cutting and jewelry craftsmanship are unparalleled. Elitruda enriched the experience by narrating the history of the gem and its value on the market. The provision of detailed certificates and the duty free pricing made this more of an investment than a purchase. But I will be back to invest in all the people I love.
    Dear Guest, We are so grateful for this awesome review. "Unparalleled Experience", wow that's a top remark and we are humbled by that! Glad that you enjoyed every bit of it. Good job Elitruda for doing what you do best, we are lucky to have an awesome team that loves everything about Tanzanites just as much as we do! Looking forward to your next visit! :)
