Tourmaline is a stone born of opposites, a crystal that holds both light and shadow, colour and calm. In its layers of pink, green, and gold lies the story of balance: learning to hold joy and challenge side by side.
Where some gems speak of purity or perfection, tourmaline speaks of wholeness.
It reminds us that beauty doesn’t come from being untouched, but from being transformed.
At Bianca Jones Jewellery, tourmaline finds its home in the Equinox Icon — a ring that celebrates that delicate balance between light and dark, movement and stillness, change and renewal.
Tourmaline’s energy is universal. Its spectrum of colours, from soft blush to deep forest green, makes it as striking on a man’s hand as it is luminous on a woman’s. It’s a gem that belongs to everyone who values depth, harmony, and evolution.
What Does a Tourmaline Ring Symbolise?
Tourmaline has long been considered a stone of protection and balance. In ancient lore, it was said to guard against negativity while drawing in creativity and compassion.
Its shifting hues, from watermelon pink to moss green, represent emotional harmony, self-healing, and transformation.
For Bianca, tourmaline embodies the spirit of Equinox itself — the meeting point of opposites. It’s a reminder that balance isn’t about perfect stillness, but about staying centred even as life moves around you.

Can a Tourmaline Ring Be an Engagement Ring?
Absolutely. Tourmaline is for those who see love as a living, evolving thing, not fixed, but ever-deepening. Its durability (around 7–7.5 on the Mohs scale) makes it suitable for everyday wear, while its vivid colours speak of individuality and depth.
Choosing a tourmaline engagement ring is choosing a love that celebrates growth — a partnership that transforms and strengthens with time.

Can You Wear a Tourmaline Ring Every Day?
Yes, with a little care. Tourmaline is durable enough for daily wear but softer than diamond or sapphire, so it appreciates gentleness. Remove it during heavy work, and clean it with mild soap and a soft cloth.
The Equinox Ring was designed exactly for this balance, strong enough for life’s everyday moments, yet a quiet invitation to move with mindfulness.

Which Finger or Hand Should You Wear a Tourmaline Ring On?
Traditionally, stones of balance and protection, like tourmaline, are worn on the right hand, symbolising independence and clarity of energy. As an engagement or promise ring, it sits beautifully on the left ring finger, a token of transformation through love.
There are no strict rules, only resonance. Wear your tourmaline where you feel most grounded, where its colours remind you to stay open to change.
What Does Black Tourmaline Symbolise?
Black tourmaline, in particular, has long been seen as a shielding stone, grounding, protective, and deeply stabilising. It’s often chosen by those seeking emotional strength, or by creatives who need to anchor their sensitivity. Its depth balances the brightness of lighter stones, bringing calm and courage in equal measure.

How to Clean and Care for Tourmaline Jewellery
Clean gently with warm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth, avoid ultrasonic or steam cleaners. Dry carefully and store separately from harder stones to prevent scratches.
Because many tourmalines are bi-coloured, handle with care to preserve their polish and delicate gradations.
Caring for tourmaline is an act of balance too, a reminder that attention keeps beauty alive.

How Much Is a Tourmaline Ring Worth?
Tourmaline’s value depends on its variety and vibrancy. Watermelon tourmaline, with its vivid pink-to-green gradient, is among the most sought-after. Fine stones are rarer and command higher prices, but even the gentler tones hold quiet charm, each tourmaline carries its own light.
More than a measure of cost, its worth lies in how it makes you feel, the quiet confidence that comes from wearing something unique.
