Tourmaline - Oval Facet

These beautiful oval Tourmalines are available in a small collection of soft pink and purple tones, each stone completely unique in colour and character. Ranging from delicate rosy pinks through to rich berry and lavender-purple hues, these faceted gemstones display the lively brilliance and subtle depth that make Tourmaline such a beloved jewellery stone.

The collection includes:

• Large Pink: approximately 8.4mm by 7.2mm by 4mm high
• Small Pink: approximately 8mm by 6.8mm by 4.5mm high
• Large Purple: approximately 8.4mm by 7.4mm by 4.8mm high
• Small Purple: approximately 7.5mm by 7mm by 3.5mm high

Each stone has been faceted to enhance its natural colour and sparkle, with soft flashes of light moving through the gems as they catch the light. The pink stones carry romantic blush and raspberry tones, while the purple varieties lean toward rich plum, lavender, and dusky violet shades. Their oval shapes give them a timeless elegance that works beautifully in both contemporary and vintage-inspired jewellery designs.

These stones are perfectly suited to fine rings, elegant pendants, or bespoke earrings, whether used individually or paired together in complementary colour combinations. Their rich but wearable tones pair beautifully with yellow gold, rose gold, or sterling silver settings depending on the mood of the finished piece.

Key Properties & Care

Tourmaline is a highly valued gemstone family known for its exceptional range of natural colours and excellent brilliance.

Mohs Hardness: Tourmaline has a hardness of approximately 7 to 7.5, making it durable enough for most jewellery applications while still benefiting from thoughtful handling.

Cleaning: Clean gently using warm soapy water and a soft cloth or brush. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and steam cleaning, especially if the stones contain natural inclusions.

Maintenance:
Durability: Tourmaline is relatively durable but can chip if struck sharply, particularly around facet edges or pointed settings. Protective settings are recommended for everyday-wear rings.
Surface Finish: The faceted cuts enhance the natural brilliance and depth of colour within each stone, allowing the pink and purple tones to glow beautifully in changing light.
Storage: Store separately in a soft pouch or lined jewellery box to prevent scratching from harder gemstones or metal tools.
