Emerald and tourmaline earrings

These 12 x 12 mm hoop earrings are crafted from 925 sterling silver with a 15k gold plating. They feature 4 x 3 mm teardrop-shaped emeralds set with their points facing the center, accompanied by small pink tourmalines and a central cubic zirconia. The ring fastens with a post and butterfly clasp, allowing it to sit close to the ear.

EMERALD

The green color comes from a mixture of other minerals, including chromium, vanadium, and iron, which gives it a bluish tint. In natural light, the true essence of emeralds is easier to discern, while artificial light can expose internal fractures in the stone caused by the glare. In ancient European and Indian cultures, the emerald was associated with Mercury, the messenger of the gods and the god of journeys, sleep, and dreams, and was therefore considered the stone of divine inspiration.

Origin: Africa.

PINK TOURMALINE

Also known as rubellite, pink tourmaline contains traces of manganese, which gives it its lovely pink hue. Tourmaline exhibits both pyroelectric and piezoelectric properties, meaning that opposite charges accumulate at both ends under pressure and when heated.

Origin: Brazil.

Properties: It is an aphrodisiac that attracts love on the material and spiritual plane.
