0.36 Ct. Tourmaline from Mozambique

When you are searching for a truly distinctive center stone that speaks to both timeless elegance and contemporary warmth, this transparent 0.36 carat emerald cut shape brownish orange tourmaline from Mozambique answers that calling. I know many customers are looking for a gem that feels personal, versatile, and rare enough to mark a milestone or to complete a curated collection, and this gem delivers on every count. The proportions 4.99 x 3.14 x 2.69 mm sit perfectly in a range of mounting styles, giving you the freedom to choose a look that is understated and refined, or bold and statement making. The emerald cut gives elongated, clean lines that flatter the finger or neckline, while the brownish orange hue, described as medium light in color intensity, offers a warm, adaptable palette that pairs beautifully with yellow gold, rose gold, and even platinum for a modern contrast. Slightly included at eye level, this stone retains transparency and charm, and its excellent polish ensures it will sparkle and glide under the light with every movement, making it a jewel that feels alive in everyday wear.

If your priority is customization, you are in the right place, because this tourmaline adapts exquisitely to multiple jewelry settings, meeting both the practical needs and aesthetic ambitions of our clients. For engagement rings, consider a classic solitaire with four or six prongs to showcase the clean pavilion and step facets of the emerald cut, or opt for a bezel setting for a low profile design that protects the edges while offering a contemporary silhouette. A halo of pavé diamonds or tiny colored gems can amplify the brownish orange tone and visually increase face up size, creating a luxurious feeling without overwhelming the stone itself. For a couple seeking something non traditional, a three stone design with tapered baguettes or round brilliant accents on either side creates a striking balance between architectural geometry and warm color. As a pendant, the dimensions are ideal for a vertical drop, catching light on the move and offering versatility in chain thicknesses. In earrings, matched partner stones could be crafted as studs, drop earrings, or delicate huggies, and the emerald cut lends itself to both symmetric and asymmetrical pairs when mixed with complementary shapes. For cufflinks, signet rings, or even a tailored brooch, the gem’s medium light intensity reads as refined and unique, a choice for those who want their jewelry to be a conversation starter without shouting.

Craftsmanship choices will be important to bring out the best in this Mozambique tourmaline, and I am here to help you select techniques that complement its natural strengths. Heat treatment enhances color without compromising the identity of the stone, giving a stable, vivid brownish orange that responds well to different metal tones. The slightly included clarity grade should be embraced as part of the gem’s character, inclusions that do not detract from its face up appeal, and often provide a fingerprint of origin and natural history collectors appreciate. Because the stone is excellent in polish, faceting reflects light cleanly, so settings that expose the table will highlight brilliance and the emerald cut’s linear sparkle. Consider using a low bezel or profile prong for pieces intended for daily wear, and more open cathedral or basket settings for occasional wear pieces that benefit from side light. Accent stones can be warm champagne diamonds for a tonal composition, white diamonds for contrast and classic sparkle, or colored sapphires and tourmalines for a bespoke color story. For artisans and designers, the exact dimensions 4.99 x 3.14 x 2.69 mm make it straightforward to design a custom seat or profile, so metalwork can be tailored precisely, ensuring secure settings that respect the stone’s dimensions and pavilion depth.
