Pink Tourmaline and Diamond Halo Ring in 14K Yellow Gold

Tourmaline's name comes from the Sinhalese “tura mali,” which means "mixed gems". Available in a rainbow of colors and color combinations from pink to blue and every shade in between, tourmaline lives up to its name. Legend says tourmaline inspires artistic expression and enhances your intuition. Empress Dowager Tz'u Hsi, the last empress of China, loved pink tourmaline above all other gems, even sleeping on a carved pink tourmaline pillow. Tourmaline also has unusual electrical properties: it’s both pyroelectric and piezoelectric. That means tourmaline crystals acquire a polarized electrical charge when heated or compressed. Tourmaline is a birthstone for October and the gem of the eighth anniversary. Wear tourmaline to inspire your creative side and charge your imagination.

With a warm sunny glow, 14K gold is the standard for fine jewelry, valued in every culture for its beauty as well as its long history as a store of wealth and a symbol of success. Gold doesn’t tarnish, rust, or corrode. Pure 24K gold is alloyed with other metals, including silver, copper, and zinc, to make it more durable. 14K yellow gold, 58.5% gold, is the most popular alloy in the United States because it holds gems securely and resists wear and scratching. Your gold jewelry will shine for generations.
