Do you want to know more about the green central gemstone in this special engagement ring? 💚 Keep reading 😉 Tourmaline is a highly popular gemstone that comes in a variety of different colours, sometimes several in just one stone. The Dutch started importing them from Sri Lanka in the 18th century when they were called Turamali, meaning mixed colours. 💍 Out of the many colours of Tourmaline, green, blue and pink are the most common. These can range from pastel to intense neons, unique bi- and tricolours. 🌈 Different shades of one colour can be seen in a Tourmaline, depending on the viewing angle. Common inclusions and its hardness of 7-7.5 on the Mohs scale make the Tourmaline vulnerable to pressure and require special care during stone-setting as there is a risk of the stone breaking. For this reason, many goldsmiths avoid working with Tourmaline. 😬 At Zmay, we take its fragility into consideration when designing a piece of jewelry, since some designs are more Tourmaline-friendly than others. All the same, when wearing jewelry with this delicate gemstone, hitting hard surfaces should be avoided as is the case with many other softer gemstones. 💎 Let yourself fall in love with the many shades of the beautiful Tourmaline and feel free to ask us any questions about it in the comments below. 📖 {You can read more about Tourmalines and other gemstones in The Jeweler's Directory of Gemstones by Judith Crowe} #zmay #zmayjewelry . . . #zarocni #zaročni #zarocniprstan #zaročniprstan #zarocniprstani #zaročniprstani #zaroka #engagement #engagementringideas #engagementringgoals #surpriseproposal #ljubljana #engagementday #ring #instarings #ponarocilu #uniqueengagementring #customengagementring #rosegoldengagementring #ringselfies #finejewellerydesigner #finejewelrydesign #finejewelrydesigner #engagementringselfie #tourmalinering #tourmalinejewelry #greentourmaline #turmalin
