Plethora Tourmaline Bangle
A luxurious oval bangle made with recycled sterling silver, and gold plated in 24ct yellow gold. This heavy weight bangle is fully handcrafted around the blue tourmaline central gemstone chosen for its individual beauty and complemented with brilliant cut blue tourmalines, inspired by the colours and textures of the sea and feels like an ocean treasure in you wrist.
Tourmaline is one of the birthstones of October, and is the more durable of the two, its counterpart being opal. Tourmaline has been said to be a stone of reconciliation, a stone that fosters compassion and cool headedness, healing and friendship. It also creates a commitment towards the completion of one’s goals and is said to protect the wearer against dangers. It is also the gem that married couples traditionally gift on their 8th wedding anniversary.
