It reveals itself anew each time you look at the jewel. First, it exposes a deep magenta, then a red, white, and finally a bright green. In one cut, a single gemstone, are all the hues of a desert sky.

Of course, we're speaking of tourmaline, which comes in a wide variety of beautiful colors. When translated, tourmaline means "mixed gems." For centuries, collectors have mistaken tourmaline crystals for rubies, emeralds, and even sapphires. This confusion confesses to the gem's talent for color. It boasts one of the broadest color ranges of any treasure in the world.

According to the Gemological Institute of America, the unique variations in the gem have earned some varieties their own designation:

Rubelite: As the name implies, this variety boasts a purplish-red hue.

Paraiba: This tourmaline type is violet-blue and sometimes seafoam green. They originate from Paraiba, Brazil, and are the favorite variety of designer Graziela Kaufman. Shop her collection by clicking here.

Watermelon: You can guess this beautiful gem is pink and green, presented in an ombre fashion.

At Razny Jewelers, we've been inspired by the tourmaline's elusive nature to create custom pieces that complement the gem's vibrant personality while elevating its approachable aesthetic. The jewelry designers we partner with offer beautiful rings, earrings, and necklaces, accentuating tourmaline. We invite you to explore our exclusive collection.
