Tourmalines

Tourmaline: Stone of Infinite Colors

Tourmaline comes from the Sinhalese "turamali", which means "stone of many colors". In fact, this stone has a very wide chromatic range, from black, brown, green and pink to blue, and can even result in a combination of two or three colors. This is the case with watermelon tourmaline, which combines pink on one side and green on the other side, like a watermelon, hence its name. Tourmaline is rarely only one color; the rough stone often has multiple colors.

If you love tourmaline, you'll surely be tempted by one of the many tourmaline jewels offered by Pierres de Julie:

You could buy a ring or earrings in rubellite (the pink/red hue of tourmaline). If you like the color green, you'll prefer a necklace or brooch in verdelite (tourmaline from yellow-green to bottle-green, dark green or olive). On the other hand, if you're more attracted to blue colors, you'll be captivated by the magnificent tourmalines known as Paraïba (very vivid blue due to copper sulfate) or indicolite tourmalines (light blue to bluish-green). Whether in rings, bracelets, earrings or pendants with or without diamonds, you're sure to find what you're looking for in our wide selection of tourmaline jewelry. Finally, for those of you who like a mix of colors, let yourself be tempted by a polychrome tourmaline or watermelon tourmaline, often mixing pink and green.
