Green tourmaline, glowing with the cool crystalline clarity of light through fern fronds after rain. Each stone carries the stillness of deep forest — wind moving through high branches, the hush beneath towering trees. Set in Noa's signature delicate gold prongs, the green held against the warm metal like new growth against bark. A quiet anchor to the forest, for those who find strength in subtlety.
There are two metal choices:
• All Gold: Solid 14k yellow gold.
• Silver + Gold: Solid sterling silver stone seat. Solid 14k yellow gold earwires, prongs, and bails.
Tourmaline was first identified in 19th-century Sri Lanka, where its name came from the word turamali, meaning colored gemstone, for its wide variety of colors. The green tourmaline specifically earned the nickname “Brazilian emerald,” since a 16th-century conquistador in Brazil mistook a dusty green tourmaline for an emerald — a confusion that lasted for centuries. It is believed to enhance awareness, love, strength, and compassion.
Tourmaline is one of the birthstones for October and marks the 8th anniversary.
