Tourmaline: October's Vibrant Spectrum of Beauty

Tourmaline: October's Vibrant Spectrum of Beauty

October 06, 2023

Tourmaline, often referred to as the "rainbow gemstone," offers a captivating range of colors, embodying every shade imaginable, from the depth of the night to the bright hues of a spring morning.

The History and Reverence of Tourmaline:
Ancient Egyptian legends told of a tourmaline traveling up from the center of the Earth, passing through a rainbow and absorbing all its colors. In many cultures, this gem has been cherished for its believed protective and healing properties. Its myriad of colors was thought to inspire artistic expression, enhance awareness, and even attract love and friendship.

Tourmaline's Place in Contemporary Jewelry:
Today, tourmaline's spectrum ensures it complements almost any attire, mood, or occasion. Its versatility means it can stand alone in a piece, or harmoniously blend with other gemstones. A pendant with deep green tourmaline can be a conversation starter, while a pair of pink tourmaline earrings can symbolize eternal love.

Investing in Tourmaline:
Beyond its beauty, tourmaline's increasing rarity, especially in specific colors, makes it an appealing investment. As mines deplete and demand for authentic, natural gemstones grows, pieces adorned with high-quality tourmalines are becoming treasures in jewelry collections.

At Johnston Jewelers, we've journeyed with tourmaline for over half a century. Our curated collections bear witness to tourmaline's timeless allure and its evolving place in the annals of jewelry. When you seek a piece that resonates with history, beauty, and a promise of value, our expertise stands ready. Allow our legacy to steer your passion, making your selection not just a purchase, but an inheritance of grace and elegance.
