Pink Tourmaline Half Moon Argentium Sterling Silver Earrings

The name tourmaline comes from the Sinhalese term “turmali.” It’s a term Dutch merchants applied to the multicolored, water-worn pebbles that miners found in the gem gravels of Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). The name was given to all colored crystals on the island of Sri Lanka at that time. This all-inclusive name indicates the inability of ancient gem dealers to differentiate tourmaline from other stones. In fact, at one time in history, pink and red tourmalines were thought to be rubies. Pink tourmaline tends to be pinker in color than ruby. However, their similarities in appearance are so strong that the stones in the Russian crown jewels believed to be rubies for centuries are now thought to be tourmalines.
These glowing rose cut tourmalines are lightweight and I’ve been able to make a light but long pair of earrings with them. They are reminiscent of a desert moon set just before the dawn.

Why Argentium Sterling Silver?
Purer:
Argentium sets new purity standards for silver. Argentium is always purer than traditional sterling silver.
Natural Beauty:
Plating is prone to wear and tear and is commonly used on silver items to give the temporary illusion of purity. Argentium is the natural color of pure silver through and through.
Brighter:
Argentium silver is brighter than platinum, white gold and traditional sterling silver. It is the whitest of them all.
Longer lasting shine:
Argentium silver is low maintenance, easy to care for and simple to keep clean.
Responsible:
Argentium guarantees traceability of its raw silver. It is certified that Argentium is produced using only recycled silver.
