Rubellite Tourmaline and Diamond Pendant in 14K

Tourmaline is the gem chameleon, appearing in more vivid hues than any other gem. Strawberry red rubellite is one of the most treasured tourmaline gems thanks to its juicy saturated color. Rubellite has long been treasured: some of the famous “rubies” set in the Imperial Russia’s crown jewels are actually rubellite. Because ruby is extremely rare above three carats, rubellite tourmaline is the best choice if you’re looking for a dramatic large red gem. Wearing rubellite adds a touch of berry sweetness to every day.

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.
