Pink Tourmaline Briolette Earrings

Pink Tourmaline Earrings can be a multi-functional piece for you.  It looks well with a pair of jeans and heels as easily as it can accentuate your little black dress.  In short, it is the perfect complement to any wardrobe.  Digging deeper into this lovely pair of earrings we find the stone itself is quite unique.  Pink tourmaline can be found all over the world, even in California and Maine!  Additionally it is a hardy stone.  For example, it rates a 7 to 7.5 on the Moh’s scale of hardness.  That said, it can work well in earrings, rings, as well as necklaces.

Furthermore  you will find that these lovelies have one other unique feature.  They are briolette tourmaline’s.  What does that mean?  Simply stated, when cut, the gem-cutter forms the gemstone into an elongated pear shape with triangular facets.  Therefore, the more cuts, the more light that is allowed into the stone, thus leaving the wearer with a full view of the stone.  Additionally this is a hot choice for many famous people who have made this cut popular in more expensive stones such as Rubies, Emeralds, and Sapphires.

One deterrent often noted is the higher price.  Basically the briolette is a difficult cut requiring more time.  More time, equates to higher prices.  However, the end result is so worth the price!  In this particular earring, the pale pink tourmaline has been paired with an elegant sterling silver flower cap.  Overall length from top of earwire to bottom of Tourmaline is 1-3/8’s of an inch.  A nice sweet delight that is sure to please.
