Anniversary Gift Ideas: Tourmaline Engagement Jewelry

Engagement rings have been the ultimate symbol of love for thousands of years. In ancient Egypt, they wore rings on the third finger of the left hand to mark where the "vein of love" went directly to the heart, starting a tradition that continues today. When pledging your love with a unique engagement ring, you are starting your own family tradition. The most important value factor to consider when shopping for tourmaline engagement jewelry is the quality of the center stone. Gemvara hand-selects top quality conflict-free gems that are expertly cut for maximum beauty. Tourmaline is named from the Sinhalese tura mali, which means "mixed stone." Available in a rainbow of colors and color combinations, tourmaline lives up to its name. Gemvara offers tourmaline in a warm pink and a lush green. Tourmaline is an October birthstone and the 8th anniversary gem. Our unrivalled selection of engagement rings by Ruzanna Davtian, Tony Rodrigues, Gary Stucchi, and other talented jewelry designers means you can find an engagement ring that perfectly symbolizes your relationship. Clean tourmaline engagement jewelry with mild dish soap: use a soft brush where dust collects. When taking off your engagement ring, don't pull on the gemstone: this won't damage the gem but it can, over time, stretch the metal that holds it in place, making the setting less secure. Be careful when removing your ring to wash your hands. Don't leave it on the rim of a sink where it can slip down the drain! Gemvara's fine quality tourmaline engagement jewelry are designed to be passed down for generations to come, crafted by hand in the United States.

If creativity is what you desire, then a tourmaline gem is perfect for you. Known as the gem of intuition, artistic expression and creativity, Tourmaline is popular because it comes in so many colors and combinations. Its variety of hues is also why it was named from the Sinhalese tura mali, which means "mixed stone." Cut is important when buying a tourmaline because a well-cut tourmaline will reflect the light. Tourmaline is the October birthstone and the 8th anniversary gem. All Gemvara jewelry is made to order, which ensures that a premium-quality tourmaline will be hand-selected to perfectly suit your design. Crafted in the United States, Gemvara's fine tourmaline is precious and personal, surely to be passed down for generations to come.
