50 natural green tourmalines with a total weight of more than 260 carats have been turned into a bracelet and necklace set. The tourmaline crystals, faceted all around, follow their naturally grown cylindrical shape with a triangular cross-section and are combined with gold and diamonds. Rich, natural inclusion patterns and a beautiful, varied play of colours in different shades of green enrich the impression of the stones and reveal that they are naturally grown tourmalines. Their colour is different every time you look at them: strong green tones have been used alongside lighter and even slightly bluish shades. Intermediate links made of high-carat gold, which are small faceted spheres with a warm lustre, and, in the case of the necklace, additional rolls of small diamonds in rhodium-plated settings add sparkling accents. A total of 180 diamonds are set in ten links in the necklace, which radiate small flashes of light with a total weight of approx. 0.90 ct. Golden ball clasps, designed in the same way, allow the necklace and bracelet to be joined together so that the set can also be worn as a longer necklace. The set came to us from Bavaria. We date it to around the turn of the millennium. With its multitude of natural tourmaline crystals, it is a true feast for the senses.

Tourmaline is a gemstone with an extremely diverse range of colours. Almost all colours occur, from blue to yellow, pink and green. The name tourmaline comes from the Sinhalese word thuramali (තුරමලි) or thoramalli (තෝරමල්ලි), which was generally used for colourful gemstones found in Sri Lanka. The name was first documented for Europe in 1707, as larger quantities were not exported from Sri Lanka to Europe until the mid-18th century. At this time, the Dutch East India Company practically had a trade monopoly on tourmalines.
