3.07 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Tourmaline Pair from Mozambique

This pair of pink tourmalines from Mozambique, offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, presents a refined combination of precision cutting and natural character, ideal for the discerning buyer. The stones weigh 1.49 carats and 1.58 carats respectively, with exact dimensions of 6.99 x 6.84 x 4.59 millimeters, and 7.01 x 6.83 x 4.97 millimeters. Both are asscher cut with an octagonal outline, a faceting style that emphasizes square symmetry and step facets, producing a crisp interplay of light and table reflections. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which for tourmaline indicates only minor internal features that do not detract from brilliance or durability under normal wear. Color intensity is described as light, yielding delicate pink tones that are often preferred for elegant and wearable designs. The polish is excellent, which ensures clean facet junctions and optimal light return from the table and pavilion. These tourmalines have undergone heat treatment, a standard enhancement in the trade to stabilize and improve hue uniformity, and their stated origin of Mozambique is notable, as this region produces many of the world class pink and green tourmalines sought after by collectors and designers.

For couples seeking complementary pieces, this matched pair lends itself to coordinated but individually expressive settings, a concept that resonates with contemporary jewelry design. One approach is to set each stone in the same metal and profile, such as a low prong or bezel mounting, to create a cohesive his and hers set where the difference in weight and slight variations in hue become intentional signatures. Another direction is to use mirrored designs, where one partner wears a solitaire in a minimalist bezel and the other wears a halo setting that amplifies presence without breaking visual harmony, the asscher cut’s step facets providing elegant contrast to surrounding pavé. For rings, consideration of finger proportion and mounting height will preserve the stones integrity, given tourmaline hardness near seven to seven and a half on the Mohs scale. For pendants or cufflinks, the stones can be paired in channel linked compositions or opposing compass styles that celebrate balance and contrast. At The Natural Gemstone Company we can advise on metal selections, proportions, and secure setting techniques that protect heat treated tourmaline while showcasing its light color and excellent polish, ensuring a complementary result that appeals to educated buyers who appreciate transparency about grading, enhancements, and origin.
