A tourmaline pendant is a the perfect piece to add to your tourmaline jewellery collection. Whether you choose a fabulous multi-color tourmaline cross pendant or a magnificent solitaire tourmaline pendant, you'll appreciate the stunning color.

Pink and green are among the most popular colors found in tourmaline pendants. Pink tourmaline, also known as rubellite tourmaline, ranges from a soft pink to a deep rose. Green tourmaline, also known as verdelite tourmaline, ranges from deep olive green to soft mint. Other popular colors include golden-brown tourmaline, also called dravite tourmaline, which is found in bright yellow to deep golden-brown, as well as and black tourmaline, also called schorl tourmaline. It is found in shades from jet black to soft gray.

Some tourmalines gemstones are sometimes a mixture of one or more colors. The most common is watermelon, which is shades of pink, red or green, sometimes separated by a thin band of clear, much like the summertime treat! Watermelon tourmaline pendants are usually cut in emerald or marquise shapes to showcase the dramatic change in color.

Some of the most gorgeous tourmaline pendants are a mixture of the colored gems. Often called rainbow tourmaline, you'll find cabochons or dazzling cut gems. You'll find styles of tourmaline cross pendants and fabulous tourmaline heart pendants.

When shopping for a tourmaline pendant, look for clear, saturated color. As with most gems, the deeper and more clear the color of the gems in your tourmaline pendant, the higher the value. Although tourmalines are fairly common in small sizes, larger stones are very rare and can fetch a very high price. A fabulous tourmaline solitaire pendant is an extravagant treat.

Although tourmalines are hard gems, they can be scratched relatively easily. Take care to never use perfume, cosmetics or hairspray while wearing your tourmaline pendant. It can ruin the high-polished finish on your gemstones.
