All about tourmalines

Tourmalines: The chameleons of gemstones

Tourmalines, with their unparalleled color palette and unique properties, are some of our favorites. At Wim Meeussen Goldsmiths, we love working with tourmalines for their versatility and beauty.

What makes tourmalines special?

Tourmalines are known as the "chameleons" of gemstones because they come in nearly every color of the rainbow. From deep greens and warm pinks to intense blues... the variety of colors is virtually endless. This means there's always a tourmaline that fits your personal taste.

Why are tourmalines so unique?

• With a hardness of 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, tourmalines are durable enough to be worn daily.
• Each tourmaline is unique in its color. Some even contain multiple colors within a single stone, such as the watermelon tourmalines (a combination of pink and green) that we frequently use.

Symbolism of tourmalines

Tourmalines are not only admired for their beauty, but also for their symbolic meaning. They are associated with balance, protection, and inspiration. At Wim Meeussen Goldsmiths, you can choose a tourmaline that resonates with you, and we will create a custom piece of jewelry based on your selection.

Thanks to their diversity in colors and shapes, tourmalines are perfect for bespoke jewelry. At Wim Meeussen Goldsmiths, we take the time to find the ideal stone that will make your jewelry truly special.
