1.71 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Tourmaline Pair from Brazil

If you are searching for a gemstone that will immediately stop someone in their tracks when set within a halo, these two green tourmalines from The Natural Gemstone Company answer that search with quiet confidence, clarity, and color. We know you want a gem that reads as both refined and distinct, something that elevates a halo setting rather than simply filling it, and these stones do exactly that. Weighing 0.81 carats and 0.90 carats respectively, each round green tourmaline measures approximately 6.12 by 6.09 by 3.52 millimeters and 6.13 by 6.12 by 4.03 millimeters, making them ideal sizes for classic halo engagement rings or for matched halo stud earrings. Their mixed brilliant cuts have been optimized to deliver lively scintillation, while an excellent polish allows light to pass and return with crisp, lively flashes that play beautifully against the surrounding diamonds. With a clarity grade described as very very slightly included at eye level, these stones present a clean, gemmy window into their softly luminous light green tone, and their light color intensity becomes amplified when embraced by a diamond halo, creating a fresh, elegant focal point.

Imagine one of these tourmalines at the center of a delicate halo of fine white diamonds, each tiny stone catching and throwing light into the tourmaline so that its subtle green takes on a new depth and vibrancy. The mixed brilliant cut is your ally in this design, because the faceting pattern responds to the extra brilliance from the halo, producing a dynamic contrast between the green core and the white fire of the surrounding melee. If you favor a warmer, more romantic look, mounting these stones in 18 carat yellow or rose gold will enhance their yellow-green undertones and create an inviting, vintage inspired glow. For a modern, high contrast presentation, white gold or platinum will make the diamonds read as pure ice, which then frames the tourmaline as an elegant colored center that appears almost to float within the halo. For a balanced and wearable design, consider a single row halo of shared prong or micro pave diamonds, which provides maximum sparkle without overwhelming the tourmaline, and a slightly elevated cathedral setting can allow light to reach the pavilion and increase the apparent brilliance of both the center and the surrounding stones.

These Brazilian tourmalines are heat treated to stabilize and refine their color, a common enhancement that brings out the best in their light green tone while maintaining natural character, and their excellent polish ensures a refined finish that setmakers and wearers appreciate. Because this is a matched pair, you have the added flexibility of designing coordinated pieces, perhaps a matched his and hers ring, or a pair of halo studs where each earring mirrors the other exactly in tone and sparkle. For halo design specifics, modest melee diamonds in the range of one hundredth to two hundredths of a carat work superbly around a six millimeter center, delivering that signature halo halo glow without detracting from the tourmaline itself. Care is simple, keep them free of harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaning if you want to be extra cautious, and clean gently with warm soapy water and a soft brush to keep the facets alive. At The Natural Gemstone Company we understand that your purchase is the culmination of a search for something meaningful and exceptional, and these green tourmalines promise to end that search, providing a distinctive, luminous focal point that will make any halo setting stand out with sophistication, originality, and lasting charm.
