A sculpted rose above each green tourmaline drop — soft petals rendered by hand in precious metal, suspended over a stone that glows with the cool crystalline clarity of light through dense canopy. The tourmalines catch light like dew on moss, or sun filtering through leaves. Set in Noa's signature delicate gold prongs. A study in contrast: the cultivated rose and the wild forest, the crafted petal and the found gem, geometry meeting growth. For those who find poetry where different worlds meet.
There are two metal choices:
• All Gold: Solid 14k yellow gold.
• Silver + Gold: Solid sterling silver stone seat, roses, and earwires. Solid 14k yellow gold 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.
