Rainbow Colours $ 70






This necklace is commissioned for Michelle, who owns Dangling Tourmaline earrings too. She can now wear both together!

The wonderful thing about Tourmaline is that it comes in a spectrum of colours, the more common ones being green and yellow (of a few shades), black and pink. Sometimes there are traces of blue too. Tourmaline is a relatively expensive stone because of the colours, other than being rare. It is said that Tourmaline is Empress Dowager's favourite jewel! (I don't know how true it is.)

What is precious here is the pendant. I have picked the better stones of my strand of faceted Tourmaline. The chain is 14K gold-filled. :)
