Tourmaline

At Joyaux™ Genève, we are delighted to offer an extraordinary collection of natural Tourmaline, celebrated for its dazzling spectrum of colors and captivating allure. Known as the "Gem of Many Colors," Tourmaline spans an incredible range from deep blues and lush greens to delicate pinks and fiery reds. Our Tourmalines are meticulously sourced from renowned mines around the world, ensuring only the finest stones become part of our exclusive collection.

The beauty of Tourmaline lies not only in its vibrant colors but also in its rich history and cultural significance. The name Tourmaline comes from the Sinhalese word "toramalli," which means "mixed gems," reflecting its remarkable variety of colors. This gemstone has enchanted people across different cultures and epochs.

In the ancient world, Tourmaline was treasured for its unique properties and stunning colors. The Egyptians believed that Tourmaline, on its journey up from the earth, passed through a rainbow, which gave it its spectacular array of colors. They used this gem in their jewelry and talismans, believing it offered protection and healing powers.

Tourmaline also played a significant role in the history of the Chinese Imperial court. It was used extensively during the Qing Dynasty for carving intricate figurines, buttons, and even royal seals. Empress Dowager Cixi, one of the last Empresses of China, was known for her passion for pink Tourmaline, which adorned many of her personal belongings.

In Europe, Tourmaline was introduced in the 1700s by Dutch traders who brought the gem from Sri Lanka. It quickly gained popularity, especially among the European elite, for its dazzling colors and unique characteristics. Tourmaline was often mistaken for other gemstones due to its variety of colors, leading to its inclusion in royal collections across Europe.

One of the most famous historical Tourmalines is the "Caesar's Ruby," a large red Tourmaline gem believed to have been part of the Russian Crown Jewels. Despite its name, the gem is actually a stunning example of red Tourmaline, highlighting the gem’s ability to be mistaken for more well-known stones like rubies.

Tourmaline’s remarkable ability to become electrically charged when heated or rubbed, known as pyroelectricity and piezoelectricity, fascinated both scientists and mystics. This unique property has made Tourmaline a gemstone of great intrigue, believed to ward off negative energy and enhance well-being.

In modern times, Tourmaline continues to captivate with its endless variety of colors and uses. Renowned jewelry designers appreciate Tourmaline for its versatility and vibrant hues, creating pieces that range from the bold and dramatic to the delicate and refined. Whether set in classic or contemporary designs, Tourmaline's brilliance and color variety make it a gem of unparalleled appeal.
