1.37 Ct. Tourmaline from Brazil

I invite you to imagine a moment held in rose tinted light, a quiet promise made under a sky that remembers every color, a jewel that carries that memory into the palm of your hand. This is a transparent 1.37 carat pear shape tourmaline, an intimate size that nevertheless speaks with a voice larger than its weight, a stone shaped to flatter and to catch the slow breath of any room. The proportions are graceful, nine point one seven by five point eight four by four point six zero millimeters, cut in a mixed brilliant fashion to awaken every facet to movement. The color is an arresting pinkish brown, a hue that is at once warm and cool, an embrace of soft blush and deep earth, and the intensity sits at a medium intense level, a rare threshold where color is present and persuasive without overwhelming the light. This gem is eye clean when viewed at eye level, its clarity a clear invitation to gaze without distraction, and the polish is excellent, a surface as satin smooth as a whispered vow. From the heart of Brazil this stone comes to you unenhanced, natural in every way, an honest and singular voice in a world of treated imitations, and as a representative of The Natural Gemstone Company I will tell you that finding such a combination of transparency, color, and integrity in this size is an uncommon occurrence.

Consider the rarity of this particular tone and scale as compared to other options you may know. Pinkish brown tourmalines exist, they are known for their subtle and soulful palette, yet few arrive with such clarity and such a balanced, medium intense color in a pear cut that measures as this one does. Many gems of similar carat weight may lean toward paler pinks or truer browns, or they may gain color at the cost of clarity, clouding the gaze with inclusions that interrupt the story the light wants to tell. Others achieve color through enhancement, heat, or oil, altering their nature to please the eye, but this stone is unenhanced, a rare, pure record of geological artistry. The pear shape further elevates the rarity, it stretches the color in elegant fashion and creates a focal point that is as flattering on the hand as it is singular on a pendant. When you compare it to more common choices, this tourmaline stands apart, a balance of size and subtlety that is difficult to source without compromise, especially when you seek a gem that is both transparent and warm, transparent and deeply yet gently colored, transparent and responsibly natural in origin.

To imagine this tourmaline set is to imagine a soft light passing through a private memory, refracting into gentle promises, hovering over skin as if to bless it with warmth. It invites settings that honor its pear shape and delicate tone, a halo of tiny diamonds to echo its brilliance, or a simple bezel to protect and to frame its quiet intensity, each choice written with the same care that formed the gem beneath Brazilian soil. For a right hand ring, it will speak of self devotion and refined taste, for a pendant it will rest near the heart and serve as a daily talisman, for an engagement it will offer a rare alternative to expected pinks and greens, a color both novel and profoundly wearable. At The Natural Gemstone Company we cherish such pieces for their honest beauty and their capacity to become heirloom, and I am here to guide you through options in mounting, metal, and design so that the finished jewel honors the stone without diminishing its natural voice. If you are seeking a gem that is unusual in size and color, that retains a natural, unenhanced origin, and that will age with a graceful story to tell, this pear shape pinkish brown tourmaline of one point three seven carat is waiting to answer the part of you that is drawn to rarity, and to the romance of something genuinely singular.
