October · Tourmaline

Tourmaline is one of October’s most recognized birthstones and one of the most diverse colored gemstones in fine jewelry. It can appear in pink, green, blue-green, red and even multicolored combinations, making it particularly suited to jewelry that expresses individual style through color.

Through longstanding jewelry traditions, tourmaline has become associated with love, creativity, vitality, individuality and emotional expression. It can therefore carry meaning not only as an October birthstone, but also for celebrating relationships, friendships, anniversaries and deeply personal milestones.

When selecting tourmaline, we consider color, saturation, clarity, size, cut and overall proportions together. Stones with vivid color, good clarity and balanced cutting can best reveal the gemstone’s lively and distinctive character.

Tourmaline can be shaped in oval, cushion, pear, round and emerald-style cuts, then paired with diamonds, 18K gold or platinum to create rings, pendants, earrings and other bespoke fine jewelry.

To us, one of tourmaline’s most compelling qualities is that it has no single defining color. Each client can choose a stone that feels closer to their own story.
