Tourmaline Gemstone Jewellery

Tourmaline Gemstone Jewellery in a Wide Range of Colours

Tourmaline is recognised for its unusually broad range of colours. Individual gemstones can appear pink, red, green, blue, yellow or in combinations of more than one colour.

This variety means tourmaline jewellery can look very different from one piece to another, even when the gemstones belong to the same mineral group.

The finished appearance of Tourmaline Gemstone Jewellery depends on gemstone colour, shape, carat weight, cut, setting and the precious metal surrounding the stone.

What Is Tourmaline?

Tourmaline is a gemstone group known for producing stones in many different colours.

Some Tourmaline gemstones show one consistent colour, while others can contain more than one colour within the same stone.

When choosing Tourmaline jewellery, colour is therefore one of the most noticeable characteristics to compare alongside clarity, cut, gemstone dimensions and setting.

Choosing Your Tourmaline Jewellery

Begin with the type of jewellery you would most like to wear.

A tourmaline ring places the coloured gemstone prominently on the hand, while tourmaline earrings create matching points of colour close to the face. A tourmaline pendant or necklace positions the gemstone near the centre of the neckline, while bracelets can introduce Tourmaline colour across the wrist.

Next, consider gemstone colour, shape, carat weight, clarity, setting and precious metal. Where diamonds are included, review their specifications separately so you understand the complete gemstone-and-diamond design.

Pink Tourmaline Jewellery

Pink Tourmaline is one of the most recognisable colour varieties within the Tourmaline gemstone family.

Shades can range from lighter pastel pink through to stronger pink and reddish-pink tones.

The exact colour can appear different depending on the gemstone's depth, cut, lighting and surrounding precious metal.

Pink tourmaline jewellery can include rings, earrings, necklaces, pendants and bracelets where designs are available.

Green Tourmaline Jewellery

Green Tourmaline provides another distinctive colour within the Tourmaline gemstone group.

Individual stones can vary from lighter green to deeper and more concentrated green tones.

A green tourmaline ring, pendant or pair of earrings can place the gemstone colour at the centre of the jewellery design when available.

Compare individual product photographs and specifications because gemstone colour can vary naturally from one stone to another.

Tourmaline Rings

A tourmaline ring can place a single coloured gemstone prominently at the centre or combine Tourmaline with smaller diamonds.

Pink, green and other Tourmaline colours can each create a very different appearance within the same general ring style.

When comparing tourmaline rings, consider gemstone colour, visible dimensions, shape, carat weight, setting, band proportions and precious metal together.

You can also explore our wider gemstone rings collection for additional coloured gemstone designs.

Pink Tourmaline Rings

A pink tourmaline ring places the gemstone's pink colour prominently on the hand.

Different shades of pink, gemstone proportions and settings can change the appearance considerably from one ring to another.

When choosing a Pink Tourmaline ring, look at the complete design rather than selecting by carat weight alone.

Tourmaline Engagement Rings

Tourmaline can be used as the principal coloured gemstone within an engagement-ring design.

A Tourmaline centre stone may appear on its own, within a diamond halo or alongside diamond side stones.

Colour, gemstone shape, setting height and precious metal all influence the finished appearance.

For currently available coloured centre-stone designs, explore our gemstone engagement rings collection.

Tourmaline Earrings

Tourmaline earrings can bring coloured gemstone detail close to the face.

Designs may use matching Tourmaline gemstones on their own or combine them with smaller diamonds.

Pink tourmaline earrings can provide soft or stronger pink colour depending on the individual gemstones, while other Tourmaline colours can create a different appearance.

When choosing earrings, consider gemstone size, colour, shape, setting, fastening and precious metal.

Explore our wider gemstone earrings collection for currently available coloured gemstone designs.

Tourmaline Necklaces and Pendants

A tourmaline necklace or pendant can position one coloured gemstone close to the centre of the neckline.

The Tourmaline may remain the main feature or be combined with diamonds according to the individual design.

Pink tourmaline pendants can introduce a noticeable point of pink colour, while green and other Tourmaline varieties provide different options where available.

Check gemstone weight, pendant dimensions, precious metal and whether a chain is included when comparing products.

Browse our wider gemstone pendants collection for currently available designs.

Tourmaline Bracelets

Tourmaline bracelets can introduce coloured gemstone detail across the wrist.

Depending on the design, a bracelet may feature one Tourmaline detail or several repeating gemstones.

When choosing a gemstone bracelet, consider bracelet length, clasp, gemstone size, setting and overall fit.

Explore currently available gemstone bracelets across the wider Sunshine Diamonds collection.

Tourmaline and Diamond Jewellery

Tourmaline and diamond jewellery combines coloured gemstone detail with faceted diamonds.

Diamonds may surround a Tourmaline centre stone, sit beside it or appear as smaller accents within rings, earrings and pendants.

Where both Tourmaline and diamonds are included, review the specifications of each stone type separately rather than assuming a single carat weight applies to both.

Understanding Tourmaline Colour

Colour is one of the defining characteristics of Tourmaline.

The gemstone family includes pink, red, green, blue, yellow and multi-coloured stones, with individual gemstones showing different levels of colour intensity.

Lighting, gemstone depth, cut and surrounding metal can all influence how Tourmaline appears in photographs and when worn.

Compare the individual gemstone shown with each product rather than expecting every Tourmaline of the same general colour to look identical.

Parti-Coloured Tourmaline

Some Tourmaline gemstones naturally display more than one colour within the same stone.

These are commonly described as parti-coloured Tourmalines.

Green and pink are among the colour combinations associated with multi-coloured Tourmaline.

This description should only be applied to an individual Sunshine Diamonds product where the gemstone itself is confirmed as parti-coloured.

Watermelon Tourmaline

Watermelon Tourmaline is a recognised multi-coloured variety that typically displays pink and green within the same gemstone.

Its colour arrangement gives the stone its familiar name.

Watermelon Tourmaline is useful when understanding the wider Tourmaline gemstone family, although individual jewellery should only be described this way when the stone is specifically confirmed as Watermelon Tourmaline.

Tourmaline Clarity

Clarity can vary between individual Tourmaline gemstones and between different colours.

Natural internal characteristics may be visible within some stones when viewed closely.

Rather than judging Tourmaline using diamond clarity terminology, consider its colour, transparency, cut, gemstone dimensions and overall appearance together.

Popular Tourmaline Gemstone Shapes

Tourmaline can be fashioned into many gemstone shapes, with each outline changing the overall proportions of the jewellery.

Round Tourmaline Jewellery

Round Tourmaline gemstones have a balanced circular outline.

They can be used in rings, earrings and pendants, either alone or alongside diamonds.

Oval Tourmaline Jewellery

Oval Tourmalines combine curved edges with elongated proportions.

Their longer outline can provide a broad visible area of gemstone colour within rings and pendants.

Pear-Shaped Tourmaline Jewellery

Pear-shaped Tourmalines combine a rounded end with a tapered point.

This directional outline can work naturally in earrings, pendants and decorative ring designs.

Emerald-Shaped Tourmaline Jewellery

Tourmaline can be fashioned into a rectangular step-cut form commonly described as an emerald cut.

Here, Tourmaline describes the gemstone while emerald cut describes its shape.

This is different from an emerald gemstone.

Marquise Tourmaline Jewellery

Marquise Tourmalines have an elongated outline with pointed ends.

Their directional proportions can create a distinctive appearance within rings and pendants.

Tourmaline Jewellery Settings

The setting holds the Tourmaline securely and contributes to the overall appearance of the jewellery.

Prong Settings

A prong setting uses small claws positioned around the gemstone.

The number and placement of the prongs depend on the Tourmaline shape and overall jewellery design.

Bezel Settings

A bezel setting surrounds all or part of the Tourmaline's outer edge with precious metal.

This creates a clearly defined metal border around the coloured gemstone.

Halo Settings

A halo setting places smaller diamonds around a central Tourmaline.

The Tourmaline remains the main coloured feature while diamonds create detail around its outline.

Side-Stone Settings

Side stones sit beside the main Tourmaline.

These may be diamonds or additional coloured gemstones depending on the jewellery design.

White Gold Tourmaline Jewellery

White gold provides a bright white-toned precious-metal setting around Tourmaline.

The amount of white gold visible depends on the jewellery design and gemstone setting.

Yellow Gold Tourmaline Jewellery

Yellow gold provides a warmer metal colour around Tourmaline.

Pink, green and other Tourmaline colours remain visually distinguishable from the yellow precious metal.

Rose Gold Tourmaline Jewellery

Rose gold provides a softer pink-toned precious-metal option for Tourmaline jewellery where available.

The amount of visible rose gold depends on the design and setting.

Check individual product listings for current metal availability.

Platinum Tourmaline Jewellery

Platinum has a naturally white appearance and can be used for selected Tourmaline jewellery designs.

Exact availability depends on the individual product, so review the product configuration before ordering.

Sterling Silver Tourmaline Jewellery

Sterling silver can provide another white-toned metal option for selected Tourmaline jewellery.

Not every design will necessarily be available in sterling silver, so check the individual product listing for current options.

Tourmaline as the October Birthstone

Tourmaline is one of the traditional October birthstones , together with opal.

This gives Tourmaline jewellery a natural connection with October birthday gifting.

A Tourmaline ring, pair of earrings, pendant or necklace can therefore be selected both for gemstone colour and its connection with the birth month.

October Birthstone Jewellery

October birthstone jewellery can include Tourmaline rings, earrings, pendants, necklaces and bracelets.

Someone who prefers pink gemstones may be drawn to Pink Tourmaline, while green Tourmaline provides a different colour option within the same gemstone family.

Because Tourmaline and Opal are both associated with October, the gemstone can be chosen according to colour and jewellery preference.

Choosing Tourmaline Jewellery as a Gift

Begin with the jewellery type the recipient already wears most often.

Tourmaline earrings or a pendant can be easier to choose where you do not know a ring size, while a Tourmaline ring requires an accurate measurement.

For someone born in October, Tourmaline birthstone jewellery can add an additional personal connection to the gift.

Styling Tourmaline Jewellery

Tourmaline can act as the main coloured feature within a jewellery look.

Pink Tourmaline earrings can be coordinated with a pendant or ring without requiring every gemstone to use exactly the same shade, shape or carat weight.

Using the same precious-metal colour across several pieces can also help create a coordinated appearance.

Caring for Tourmaline Jewellery

Tourmaline jewellery should be protected from hard knocks, excessive heat and harsh household chemicals.

For routine cleaning, use warm water, mild soap and a soft brush. Clean gently around the gemstone, any diamond details and the setting before rinsing and drying with a soft cloth.

Avoid steam and ultrasonic cleaning, and store Tourmaline jewellery separately from harder gemstones to help reduce unnecessary scratching and contact.
