Bold yet refined, this ring features a bezel-set tourmaline that holds entire landscapes within its depths. Delicate inclusions drift through the stone like mist through valleys, rivers through canyons — nature's own abstract art, unrepeatable and irreplaceable. The band narrows deliberately as it approaches the stone from both sides, creating visual movement that honors the gem's organic beauty. Available in silver or gold, this ring embodies the beauty in meaningful things that carry marks of their making, whispers of where they've been and the patient forces that shaped them.
There are two metal choices:
• Gold: Solid 14k yellow gold.
• Silver: Solid sterling silver band and stone seat. Solid fine silver bezel.
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.
