Mined from deep within the earth, then lovingly hand-faceted into a sparkling oval cut to reveal its exquisite hidden brilliance, let this 1.29ct Tourmaline be your moment-defining treasure.
We are proud to present this rare silver tourmaline, a gemstone that we acquired from a seasoned lapidarist at the prestigious Tucson Gem and Mineral Show 2024. The lapidarist, though American, spent his career living in Brazil and cutting Brazilian-origin gemstones. We had a strong feeling that this striking gemstone may have been an unheated Paraiba tourmaline, a rarity often found in silver and purple hues. At the time, it was uncertified. However, upon having it evaluated with GIA, we discovered that the tourmaline was not copper-bearing. Copper or no copper, this sleek silver tourmaline is truly in a league of its own!
The experts at the prestigious GIA carefully assessed and certified this tourmaline to ensure its authenticity, giving you assured confidence in your precious gemstone investment.
Whether you are creating the ultimate gift of self-love or a proclamation of devotion, such as an engagement ring, we entwine your nuanced needs with our creativity. Let this rare silver tourmaline honor your story, by allowing us the privilege of hand-crafting it into a bespoke, artisan jewellery piece, marking a moment of significance in your life for now and for generations to come.

Precious Gems of Brazil
Brazil's lush landscape, with its verdant green rainforests, marshy wetlands and vast plateaus, conceals some of Earth's most splendid precious gemstones.
The most spectacular Brazilian gemstones, extracted from a region near Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, and in the nearby state of Bahia, are not just beautiful, but also rare. These areas produce superior-quality beryl, including aquamarine, emerald, heliodor, and morganite; rare chrysoberyl, such as alexandrite; richly saturated quartz varieties, such as amethyst and citrine; the rarest imperial topaz and tourmaline of all colours, including Paraiba.
The Brazilian Mining Code governs mining activities in Brazil. However, a change in government in 2023 has ushered in proposed changes to current mining legislation. These promising changes signify Brazil's ongoing commitment to responsible and sustainable mining, protecting indigenous peoples' land rights, and promoting a more accountable sector.
