£5,995.00
18ct FairTrade Rose Gold Pendant with 4.78ct Mint Tourmaline and Diamonds
A wonderful minty green 4.78ct Emerald cut Tourmaline, set on an 18ct FairTrade Rose Gold Diamond set pendant loop. Total Diamond weight (3 stones) totalling 0.04ct (F colour and VS2 Clarity).
A very clean stone. I purchased it in March 2019. The stonecutter was called Bear, but I’m assured he’s not grizzly at all!
Caring for Tourmalines
It has a hardness of 7-7.5 on the Mohs Scale (similar to Emerald), Gems with a hardness of 6-7 or greater are quite suitable for rings which are worn occasionally. For a ring like a wedding or engagement ring, intended for everyday wear over a period of years, a hardness rating of 8-10 is recommended. Warm, soapy water is the best method for cleaning tourmaline. The use of ultrasonic and steam cleaners is not recommended.
