We want your ring to be a perfect fit! This ring is currently a size 7 (US). Please remember to specify your desired ring size in the notes at checkout. (You must go directly to the cart page to notate your size. Please email us if you have any trouble with this.) If no size is specified, it will ship as the unmodified size (7). While we do offer complimentary resizing within the first year of purchase, sending it back to us for resizing may incur a fee for shipping costs.
It's important to note that for our in-stock pieces, we can accommodate resizing up to 2 full sizes either up or down. If you require a different size beyond this range, we recommend considering a custom order.
Please also be aware that resizing may take an additional 1-3 business days to complete.
Hardness: Tourmaline falls in the 7-7.5 range on the Mohs scale, which makes it a good choice for using in jewelry. While it is not as hard as diamonds, it's still durable enough for everyday wear, especially in pieces like engagement rings. With proper care and maintenance, your tourmaline ring can last for generations.
Color Range & Varieties:
Schorl: Schorl is the most common and widespread type of tourmaline. It is typically black or dark brown and is often used in jewelry when polished.
Rubellite: Rubellite is a variety of tourmaline that displays a rich, intense pink to red color. It is highly valued as a gemstone due to its vibrant hues.
Indicolite: Indicolite is a blue variety of tourmaline. It can range from light blue to deep blue, and the intensity of the color can affect its value.
Verdelite: Verdelite is the green variety of tourmaline. Its color can vary from light green to deep emerald green.
Watermelon Tourmaline: This unique variety of tourmaline has a pink center surrounded by a green outer layer, resembling a slice of watermelon.
Paraíba Tourmaline: Paraíba tourmaline is famous for its striking neon or electric blue to green-blue colors. It is highly sought after by collectors and can command exceptionally high prices.
Chrome Tourmaline: Chrome tourmaline is known for its vibrant green color, which is attributed to the presence of chromium.
Dravite: Dravite is a brown to dark brown variety of tourmaline. It is not as commonly used in jewelry as some other tourmaline types but is still appreciated for its earthy tones.
Bi-Color and Tri-Color Tourmaline: These tourmalines exhibit two or three distinct colors within the same crystal. Bi-color tourmalines can have a combination of pink and green, while tri-color tourmalines may feature three distinct sections of color.
Origin: Tourmaline can be found in many locations around the world. Some of the notable sources include Brazil, Afghanistan, Pakistan, the United States (California and Maine), Mozambique, and Madagascar.
Stability: Tourmaline is generally stable to light and isn’t affected by exposure to chemicals, but heat can damage a tourmaline. High heat can alter the color, and sudden temperature change (thermal shock) can cause fracturing.
Treatments: Some tourmalines may be treated with heating or irradiation. When cleaning such treated stones, it's best to use only warm soapy water and avoid harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, or steam cleaners, which can potentially damage the treatment. We disclose all treatments on our stones.
Spiritual Properties: Tourmaline has a rich history and is believed to have protective and healing properties in some cultures. Incorporating tourmaline into your ring can add emotional significance and symbolism to your jewelry, making it even more meaningful.
Whether you're drawn to the elegance of pink tourmaline, the tranquility of green Tourmaline, or the boldness of Paraíba Tourmaline, it's no wonder that Tourmaline holds a special place at LCG for its captivating range of colors.
Most gemstone jewelry must be cleaned a little more often than traditional diamond jewelry. We recommend cleaning your gemstone jewelry every few weeks if you're really ambitious, but once a month will suffice, usually. It truly depends on your lifestyle and how often your piece is worn.
We offer professional cleaning, polishing, and resizing for all of your pieces you have purchased from us. Please contact us to inquire further.
To be covered under our warranty, please send us your piece for annual (or bi-annual, even better!) maintenance. We check all prongs, polish, and clean your jewelry for you under our warranty. Please reach out to us to schedule. For more warranty information, click here.
People often ask us whether this holds true, and if we're being brief: sort of.
