1.75 Ct. Tourmaline from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There is an old and enduring poetry that surrounds pink tourmaline, a stone whose hues have long been linked to sentiment, protection, and timeless elegance. This particular gem comes from Ceylon, the island that has supplied the world with some of the planet s most storied gems for centuries. When you hold this transparent 1.75 carat radiant shape pink tourmaline you hold more than a jewel, you hold a small piece of geological history that was shaped by heat, pressure, and time into a crystal of refined beauty. The radiant cut emphasizes symmetry and internal fire, making each facet a mirror for memory and tradition. For collectors and connoisseurs who seek continuity with the past, this tourmaline speaks to the same lineage of stones that were once set into heirloom rings, royal adornments, and sacred talismans, carrying with it the muted glow of the classical and the comfort of the familiar.

Measured at 8.17 by 5.99 by 5.16 millimeters, this stone balances presence with wearability, offering a scale that fits gracefully into a variety of settings. Its clarity is graded as slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which is a hallmark of many natural tourmalines and a reminder of authentic origin. The medium light color intensity offers a refined pink that is neither garish nor faint, it is the kind of hue that pairs beautifully with warm metals and with white metals, and it flatters the skin without overwhelming it. Unenhanced and wholly natural, this gem retains the character that has made tourmaline prized for generations. In traditional practice, pink tourmaline has often been associated with matters of the heart, worn as a token of devotion, or carried for comfort and emotional balance. The presence of subtle inclusions only affirms the gem s natural journey, and to those who value genuineness, these inclusions are as meaningful as any inscription.

The radiant cut chosen for this specimen is itself a conversation with tradition, combining the brilliance of step cutting with the scintillation of more modern faceting. The excellent polish ensures that light travels through the crystal with clarity and grace, illuminating its soft pink from within. Historically, gem cutters drew from centuries of accumulated knowledge to coax the best from each crystal, and our cutter s work here honors that lineage. The cutting preserves weight and maximizes table size, while the proportions give the wearer a lively sparkle and a subtle depth of color when viewed from different angles. Set into a classic solitaire ring, a refined pendant, or an heirloom brooch, this tourmaline will behave like a quiet storyteller, catching glances and prompting questions about its origins, its past, and the hands that fashioned it into a jewel.
