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 that time, the Dutch East India Company practically had a trade monopoly on tourmalines. Four of these special gemstones are featured in this pair of stylish vintage cuff links. The tourmalines are presented in two wonderful shades of green, forest green in a warmer, slightly yellowish colour and a cooler shade with a hint of bluish. Both shades of green complement each other and only reveal their differences at second glance. In total, the tourmalines weigh approx. 19.64 ct. Simple white gold settings hold the stones and a short chain connects two of them to form a button. The buttons, which were created around 1960, are beautifully preserved. The high-quality pair impresses with its cheerful yet tasteful design, which makes a beautiful eye-catcher on the shirt. The cufflinks are supplied with a detailed certificate from the German Gemstone Appraisal Society, Idar-Oberstein.
