The tourmaline is highly sought after because it combines good hardness (7 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale) with excellent durability. It has one of the widest color ranges of any gem. Tourmaline’s colors have many different causes. It’s generally agreed that traces of iron, and possibly titanium, induce green and blue colors. Manganese produces reds and pinks, and possibly yellows. Some pink and yellow tourmalines might owe their hues to color centers caused by radiation, which can be natural or laboratory-induced.

The name tourmaline comes from the Sinhalese term “Turmali,” which was the name given to all colored crystals on the island of Sri Lanka back in the days. 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 tourmaline 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. Tourmaline was in fact also confused with emerald for 300 years! The stone was first discovered by Dutch traders off the West Coast of Italy in the late 1600's or early 1700's.

Tourmaline is the birthstone of October, and is believed to reflect kindness, tolerance and femininity. Tourmalines are also believed to be useful in relaxing the body and the mind, and to help in the treatment of many different diseases such as anxiety, blood poisoning, arthritis, and heart disease.

A luminous ode to intuition, mystery, and feminine energy

The Moon Magic is inspired by the quiet pull of the moon and Sri Lanka’s starlit nights – where light and shadow dance in perfect harmony. At the heart of this collection is the moonstone, treasured for its ethereal glow and spiritual resonance. Like moonlight captured in gemstone form, each piece evokes softness, clarity, and inner knowing.

This collection is a celebration of light from within. It features moonstones and rainbow moonstones – gemstones with a soft, shifting shimmer that reveals itself gently, never all at once. Their glow is intimate and dreamlike, like intuition made visible.

June’s birthstone, the moonstone, carries deep symbolic meaning – often associated with new beginnings, emotional clarity, and feminine energy. It makes every piece in this collection a meaningful gift or personal talisman.

Designs in Moon Magic flow with organic lines and celestial curves. Some echo crescent moons, others feel as if they’ve been dreamt into existence. Each ring is made to be felt as much as seen – light, soft, and deeply symbolic.

Crafted in pure gold, the pieces let the moonstone breathe – often set open or slightly raised, so its shimmer can catch even the gentlest light. The result is a collection that feels weightless yet grounding, delicate yet powerful.

Moon Magic is for those who move by instinct, dream with their eyes open, and find strength in softness. A tribute to the feminine, the intuitive, and the unseen – and a reminder that your glow doesn’t need to shout to shine.
