Green tourmaline, glowing with the cool crystalline clarity of light through fern fronds after rain. The 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. Suspended from a fine chain finished with Noa’s signature clasp. 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, fine chain, and clasp. Solid 14k yellow gold prongs, bail, and jump ring.
The chain is adjustable (16" / 18").
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.
