Tourmaline and Diamond Ring in 14K

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.

Rose gold, sometimes also called pink gold or red gold, has a softer, pinker color than yellow gold. 14K rose gold contains more copper than 14K yellow gold, which gives it its delicate blush tone. But it contains just as much pure gold content, 58.5%, as 14K yellow gold does. Rose gold symbolizes love. Its peach hue is a beautiful complement to gemstones.
