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

From the heart of Brazil to the palm of a skilled cutter, this pair of green tourmalines has a story that begins deep within the earth, where mineral rich pegmatites slowly crystallized over millennia, capturing light and color in their growing faces. Skilled miners, familiar with the old veins that have produced some of the world’s finest tourmalines, carefully extracted these transparent gems, and each stone was then guided to an artisan who listened to the stone rather than forcing a design upon it. The result is a beautifully matched pair, weighing 8.48 carats and 8.62 carats respectively, shaped into graceful pears with dimensions of 17.19 x 12.15 x 6.58 mm and 17.22 x 12.12 x 6.60 mm. The chosen checkerboard cut emphasizes their intense color intensity and excellent polish, creating a play of light across the faceted surface that is lively and elegant. With a clarity grade of very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, these tourmalines are candidly natural and free of enhancement, a true record of their Brazilian origin.

As a pair destined for earrings, their nearly identical proportions and matching hue make them an ideal canvas for a custom creation, and at The Natural Gemstone Company we celebrate that journey by helping you realize a design that honors it. Imagine the elongated pear suspending from a delicate bezel or halo setting that allows the checkerboard facets to catch every turn of the head, or picture a classic three stone composition that pairs these vibrant greens with warm gold or cool platinum accents. At roughly eight and a half carats each, they carry enough presence to be comfortable as a daily signature or to elevate evening attire, while their transparency and intense color ensure they read beautifully from every angle. Because these tourmalines are natural, untreated, and precisely matched, they lend authenticity to any bespoke earring you commission, connecting wearer and gem through origin, craft, and cultural resonance. If you would like guidance on metal choice, setting style, or ear length to best showcase these pears, The Natural Gemstone Company is ready to help you design a pair of earrings that tells the stone’s story and becomes a personal heirloom.
