Good to Have You Back
The color pink is back on everyone's fashion radar, and it's not just because of 'Barbie'! Admittedly, pink has been a trend all year due to the movie's success, but October ushers in a fresh resurgence of this captivating hue for one excellent reason - the pink tourmaline. October boasts not one but two birthstones. Alongside the versatile opal, pink tourmaline is celebrated for its stunning hue. Few stones can rival the vivid burst of color that this pink gem offers.

This necklace is crafted from 14k white gold, adorned with diamonds set in a heart-shaped outline around a dazzling pink tourmaline. Classy, feminine, and stylish.
Other than weight (carats), pink tourmaline is valued and graded according to three factors – color, clarity, and transparency. The more vibrant or reddish a pink tourmaline is, the higher its price tends to be. However, when it becomes overly saturated, it can decrease in value. Therefore, the key is to find that perfect balance of pink, and your jeweler can assist you in this regard. Unlike diamonds, where the cut primarily affects brilliance, pink tourmalines are cut to enhance their desired color. So, darker stones are cut differently from lighter ones.

Did you know that pink tourmalines are 'pleochroic'? This means they exhibit different hues when viewed from various angles—an optical illusion of sorts. In the past, alchemists believed it was akin to the philosopher's stone, associated with a long life and good health. While that may not hold true today, its unique beauty remains unparalleled. If you're looking for a shimmering pink-ruby red-pastel stone, pink tourmalines are your go-to choice for the season.

Pink tourmalines are categorized as semi-precious stones, not considered truly precious. While they are not rare, a high-quality pink tourmaline is indeed a rarity and can be quite expensive. In fact, a 250-carat pink tourmaline was once part of the Romanov crown jewels. Its rich hue and impeccable clarity even led royal experts to believe it was a ruby; the truth was only discovered much later.
