About Tourmaline
Tourmaline occurs in the widest natural color range of any gemstone — pink, green, blue, yellow, watermelon (bicolor pink-and-green), and the rare neon-blue Paraíba variety, which commands the highest prices in fine jewelry. Tourmaline scores 7–7.5 on Mohs (durable for daily wear) and is the October birthstone (alongside opal) and 8th-anniversary gem. The variety means tourmaline can match virtually any other color in a wardrobe.
About 14K Rose Gold
14K rose gold gets its romantic pink hue from a copper-rich alloy — typically around 25% copper combined with silver. The color is warm, slightly less intense than 10K rose, and ages beautifully without tarnishing or requiring rhodium replating. Rose gold has been a defining engagement-ring trend of the last decade, pairing especially well with morganites, peach sapphires, and oval and cushion-cut diamonds. It flatters most skin tones and reads as both vintage and modern.
