Tourmaline Jewelry

Tourmaline Jewelry

With 100 different identifiable shades, tourmaline may be the most colorful gemstone of all! In hues of red, pink, green, gold-brown, blue, black and every shade in between, you'll sure to find a color of tourmaline jewelry to suit you.

Pink and green are among the most popular colors sought in tourmaline jewelry. Pink tourmaline, also called at rubellite tourmaline, ranges from a soft pink to a vivid deep rose. Green tourmaline, also known as verdelite tourmaline, ranges from olive to mint. Other popular colors include golden-brown tourmaline, also known as dravite tourmaline, and black tourmaline, also known as schorl tourmaline.

Tourmaline gems are sometimes a mixture of one or more colors. The most common is watermelon, which is shades of pink, red or green, sometimes even separated by a thin band of clear, much like the summertime treat!

Some of the most gorgeous tourmaline jewelleries are a mixture of colored gems. Often called rainbow tourmaline, you'll find cabochons or dazzling cut gems in stunning pendants, rings, earrings and pendants.

Tourmaline bead necklaces are simply breath taking. You'll see polished or faceted beads in dozens of colors, sometimes with several shades in one piece. Tourmaline rough is common, especially in schorl, or black tourmaline, pieces.

When shopping for tourmaline jewelry, look for clear, saturated color. As with most gems, the deeper and more clear the color, the higher the value. Although tourmalines are fairly common in small sizes, larger stones are very rare and can fetch a high price.

Although tourmalines are hard gems, they can be scratched fairly easily. Be sure to store your tourmaline jewelry in bags or wrapped in plastic to keep it from being damaged by prongs or posts of other jewelry.
