Tourmaline Ring

A tourmaline ring is a stunning jewelry piece to own. Whether you love dazzling gem-cut pink tourmaline rings or rough-cut black schorl tourmaline rings, you'll find a stunning solitaire or a fabulous multi-stone ring that you'll treasure.

Pink and green are among the most popular colors sought in tourmaline rings. Pink tourmaline, also called rubellite tourmaline, ranges from a soft pink to a deep rose. Green tourmaline, also called verdelite tourmaline, ranges from olive green to soft mint. Other popular colors include golden-brown tourmaline, called dravite tourmaline, and black tourmaline, also called schorl tourmaline.

Tourmalines are sometimes a mixture of one or more colors. The most common is watermelon, which is shades of pink, red or green, sometimes separated by a thin band of clear, much like the summertime treat! Watermelon tourmaline rings are usually cut in emerald or marquise shapes to showcase the dramatic color change.

Some of the most gorgeous tourmaline rings are a mixture of the colored gems. Often called rainbow tourmaline, you'll find cabochons or dazzling cut gems many ring designs.

When shopping for a tourmaline ring, look for clear, saturated color. As with most gems, the deeper and more clear the color of the gems in your tourmaline ring, the higher the value. Although tourmalines are fairly common in small sizes, larger stones are very rare and can fetch a high price. A fabulous tourmaline solitaire ring is an extravagant treat.

Although tourmalines are hard gems, they can be scratched fairly easily. Take care when wearing your ring that you don't garden or perform any tasks that could scratch the stones. Be sure to store your tourmaline rings in separate bags or wrapped in plastic to keep them from being damaged by prongs or posts of other jewelry.
