This bracelet features 28 carats of Pink & Green Tourmaline beads, fine silver Karen Hill Tribe beads and sterling silver findings.
Tourmaline is a birthstone for October. Tourmaline is also the gem of the eighth anniversary.
Tourmalines come in a wide variety of exciting colors. In fact, tourmaline has one of the widest color ranges of any gem species, occurring in various shades of virtually every hue.
All colored Tourmaline gems display pleochroism, meaning their color changes when viewed at different angles. In some Tourmaline gems, this effect is hardly noticeable, while in others it is strongly apparent.
Tourmalines are found in many locations around the globe. These gems were mined in Nigeria.
The silver beads in this bracelet have been handcrafted by the artisans of the Karen Hill Tribe in Northern Thailand. Karen Hill Tribe artisans use traditional methods of metal smithing that have been handed down from generation-to-generation. These silver beads have a high purity content. They are 97-99% pure silver, as opposed to the 92.5% purity rate of sterling silver.
