Tourmaline is a semi-precious gemstone that has seen a surge in popularity in recent years due to its wide range of colors, affordability, and versatility in jewelry design. It is composed of a complex boron silicate mineral group with various trace elements such as iron, manganese, and chromium that contribute to its diverse palette.
One particular stone that is capturing the interest of collectors and jewelry enthusiasts alike is a 1.99-carat emerald cut multi-color Tourmaline. Its dimensions are precisely measured at 8.39 x 6.29 x 4.70 mm, making it an elegant choice for sophisticated jewelry settings.
The transparent stone boasts an eye-clean clarity, meaning that any inclusions are not visible to the naked eye and thus enhance its brilliant aesthetic. The light color intensity offers a subtle yet radiant hue, making it an attractive choice for those who prefer gems with gentle enchantments rather than saturated colors.
Emerald cuts are known for their long, elegantly stepped facets and large table, which give a hall-of-mirrors effect to the stone and emphasize its clarity and luster. This multi-color Tourmaline, with its excellent polish, reflects light beautifully, showcasing the gem’s natural allure. Its origin, Mozambique, is renowned for producing some of the finest tourmalines in the world, adding to its appeal and value.
Used primarily for fine jewelry, tourmalines of this type are often set in rings, necklaces, and, notably, earrings.
Imagine a pair of intricately designed earrings featuring this gorgeous tourmaline. The earrings are crafted with a combination of 18k yellow gold and white gold settings that complement the multi-hued nature of the gemstone. Around the centrepiece tourmaline are tiny, micro-pave diamonds that add a sparkling frame, enhancing the primary gem's luster and chromatic display.
The craftsmanship of the earrings would be highlighted by the delicate filigree work along the sides of the setting, reminiscent of lace and contributing to the overall elegance of the piece. The backings of the earrings are carefully designed for comfort and security, with a post and butterfly mechanism ensuring they remain in place.
The overall aesthetic of the earrings would be one of luxurious sophistication, making them appropriate for formal wear but versatile enough to add a touch of class to a more casual ensemble. The refined blend of gold, the burst of brilliance from the diamonds, and the captivating allure of the Mozambican tourmaline result in a wearable work of art that is both timeless and modern.
