Enchanting and alive, this necklace showcases the verdant beauty of a green tourmaline that glows with cool, crystalline clarity, its facets catching light like dew on moss or sun filtering through dense canopy. Held in sculptural gold prongs that frame without overwhelming, the stone is given space to breathe and shine — the metal's organic forms echoing the natural world the gem evokes. Suspended from a delicate chain, the tourmaline rests at the collarbone with quiet presence, neither bold nor timid but perfectly balanced. This is a necklace for those who seek daily elegance rooted in nature's palette, a touch of forest green that grounds and elevates in equal measure. Wear it as a reminder of growth, resilience, and the kind of beauty that deepens the longer you look.
There are two metal choices:
• All Gold: Solid 14k yellow gold.
• Silver + Gold: Solid sterling silver stone seat, fine chain, and lobster 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.
