Think Pink

For fans of pink, Tourmaline gems come in an incomparable variety of colours. According to Egyptian legend, Tourmaline, on its long journey up from the centre of the Earth, passed over a rainbow and took on all of its colours.

That’s why it is still referred to as the ‘gemstone of the rainbow’. The colour spectrum of the gemstone is hugely varied, giving jewellers the most wonderful colours to work with.

In a search for unusual stones this season, Catherine Best sourced a small number of bright pink Tourmaline stones that are both rare and beautiful. An extraordinary, newly discovered shade, it’s a deep pink that almost defies description. The intense colour changes slightly when the stone is turned or when the light source alters. The breath-taking violet-hued, bright cerise pink has a light tone that is best seen against the skin. It’s the perfect tone for the berry coloured fashions right now.

As a semi-precious jewel, Tourmaline is a surprisingly affordable stone, so you can afford to wear a little bit more ‘wow’ on your finger, set either to your own design or Catherine’s interpretation of your personality.

Also as an extra romantic bonus, Tourmaline is said to be the gemstone of long-lasting love and of friendship too xxx
