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

There is a noble and enduring quality to fine tourmaline that speaks to collectors and connoisseurs who value heritage and subtlety, and these asscher octagon pink tourmalines capture that timeless spirit perfectly. Each stone draws on a lineage of craftsmanship and classical geometry, the asscher cut offering stepped facets and a pavilion that recalls the restrained elegance of early 20th century design. We present a matched pair weighing 1.55 carats and 1.58 carats, with dimensions of 6.96 by 6.86 by 4.90 mm and 7.06 by 6.83 by 4.87 mm, transparent with medium color intensity, a clarity grade of slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and an excellent polish. Originating from Mozambique and refined through careful heat treatment, these pink tourmalines possess balanced tone and a gentle, enduring glow that will mature with every wear, making them ideal for a piece that is meant to be both heirloom and everyday.

For a bespoke pair of earrings these stones offer exceptional promise, their asscher facets yielding a vintage silhouette that translates beautifully into stud settings, halo studs, or classic drop designs. The near matching weights and dimensions provide a harmonious pairing for symmetrical designs, while their slight individuality will lend a handcrafted authenticity to any mounting. Consider warm metals such as rose gold to enhance the rosy hue, or platinum for a cooler, more architectural contrast that highlights the clean lines of the asscher cut. At The Natural Gemstone Company we can advise on mounting depths to respect the measured pavilion heights, and recommend prong styles and bezel proportions that protect the gems while allowing light to animate their facets. Commissioning these tourmalines as a custom pair of earrings creates not only a striking present day jewel, but also a modern heirloom rooted in the long tradition of gemstone artistry, ready to be passed forward with stories to tell.
