Tourmaline And Rose Quartz With Pink And Black Swirl Glass Pendant

This is one of Adolphina’s finest necklace and earring sets. A rainbow of tourmaline colors is artfully displayed as clusters of miniature, faceted, teardrop shapes. They are perfectly paired with a one-of-a-kind swirl of pink and black glass, melded together to make a perfectly mystical pendant that seems to have been frozen as hot glass. Large, round, rose quartz beads form a visual bridge to the swirled, black, striped, clear beads, only interrupted by smaller rose quartz beads.

All the sterling silver findings are especially ornate and spectacular, including the carefully decorated earring finding and the ornate clasp.

Tourmaline is a fascinating stone. When rubbed or heated, it acquires an electric charge. This is called piezoelectricity. It can attract small objects such as dust or ashes. During Worl War II it was used in sonar instruments for submarines. It is naturally magnetic. The rarest color of tourmaline is red and has been mistaken for rubies in the past. Tourmaline can be found in Russian Crown jewels as well as in the jewels of Chinese empresses.
