Description
size: 5 weight: 2.6 grams material: 14k yellow gold gemstones: 4mm round cut tourmaline Notes from the Curator This 14k yellow gold band carries a polychromatic suite of round-cut tourmalines—green, pink, salmon-yellow, and olive tones—set in a classic channel mounting that showcases the gemstone's etymology from the Sinhalese word turamali, meaning "stone of mixed color." Tourmaline displays a greater range of colors than any other gemstone, in fact coming in every color of the spectrum, yet multi-colored tourmaline is found in combinations like gold with pink and red, or green, gold and red, each hue governed by trace elements—iron, manganese, lithium—absorbed during crystal growth. The 4 mm stones, hand-set in tandem, reflect a mid-twentieth-century preference for maximizing gem surface within narrow bezels. According to legend, tourmaline traveled along a rainbow and picked up its colors along the way; here that fable materializes as a wearable spectrum, the warm gold amplifying each stone's discrete refractive signature while the 2.6-gram band remains light enough for daily wear.
