Tourmalines

The perceived value of tourmalines makes these pieces

very special and the cut of the wheel-shapes makes

them very unusual.

Refer back to my last post

where I showed you the 3-strand Chrome Diopside Necklace

I just found this photo showing 3 different necklaces,

as we always intended them to be worn.

Tourmalines, Chrome Diopside & Aventurine Stones

carefully crafted into a big statement piece

when all 3 were combined.

1st - The 3-strand Chrome Diopside Faceted Briolettes

2nd - Tourmaline "Wheels" faceted into a long rope

anchored by a huge gold wire-wrapped circle

element; the circle/ring could be placed anywhere

depending on what you would be wearing

3rd - Giant Nuggets of Aventurine, again with the

same Tourmaline wheels made into a long rope,

which could be doubled if worn alone.

note from me, chrome diopside is a hideous name for a beautiful

stone, which to many looks like an emerald, however, upon

closer inspection you will see the extra brilliance of the green.

chrome diopside is only found in the areas where diamonds are

located...for this reason alone, I think they are extra special...&

they are also very rare and difficult to source.  sometimes we

would purchase a vendor's entire inventory (small) because

we knew we couldn't duplicate the quality, size, shape with

anyone else.
