What Our Customers Say
Tourmaline Engagement Rings
Tourmaline is found in more colours than any other gemstone so there is tourmaline that suits all tastes. Its wide range of colours has often seen tourmaline mistaken for other gems like sapphires, rubies and emeralds.
With a hardness of 7-7.50 a tourmaline can be scratched easier than diamonds and sapphires. It is however, durable enough for easy to care for jewellery. Tourmaline is sustainable and makes stunning engagement rings that can stand the test of time when cared for in the right setting. A tourmaline bridal set were my own choice and I’m still extremely happy with them both.
Sapphire Engagement Rings
