Why Choose This Natural Pink Tourmaline?

When selecting a colored gemstone, color and size are paramount. This particular Pink Tourmaline excels in both categories. While many stones under $200 are often small (under 1 carat) or heavily included, this 4.77-carat specimen offers substantial face-up size (12.2 x 9.78 mm) suitable for a cocktail ring or statement pendant.

1. Distinctive Purplish Pink Hue

The color of this gem is not a standard bubblegum pink; it possesses a sophisticated purplish modifier. This aligns it closely with the aesthetics of Ruby or pinkish-purple Spinel, but at a significantly more accessible price point. The mixed cutting style enhances this color, flashing different shades of magenta and rose as the stone moves.

2. Expert Cushion Mixed Cut

The cushion cut Loose Gemstone style is a favorite among custom jewelers. By combining the soft, rounded corners of a cushion shape with brilliant faceting, this cut maximizes light return while retaining weight. For a Pink Tourmaline, which is a Type III gemstone often prone to inclusions, this cut also helps mask minor internal characteristics, ensuring the stone appears brilliant and lively.

3. Untreated Purity

Many pink stones on the market are irradiated to enhance their color. This specimen is strictly untreated. Owning an untreated Pink Tourmaline of this size implies you are holding a piece of natural geology that hasn’t been altered by human intervention.

Jewelry Design: Using a Cushion Cut Loose Gemstone

With a hardness of 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, Pink Tourmaline is durable enough for most jewelry applications, though we recommend protective settings for rings worn daily.

• Rose Gold Settings: The purplish-pink tones of this gem blend seamlessly with 14k or 18k rose gold, creating a warm, romantic aesthetic.
• Halo Rings: Surrounding this 12.2mm cushion cut Loose Gemstone with small white diamonds or White Sapphires creates a stunning contrast that highlights the central pink color.
• October Birthstone Gifts: As a primary birthstone for October, this is a meaningful gift that offers far more “wow factor” than smaller commercial stones found in mall jewelry stores.

If you are considering other colors to pair with this gem, the deep greens of Green Tourmaline or the vibrant violet of Amethyst make for excellent complementary stones in multi-stone designs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this Pink Tourmaline durable for a ring?

Yes, with a hardness of 7-7.5, Pink Tourmaline is suitable for rings. However, it is not as hard as Sapphire, so we suggest removing it during heavy manual activity.

Does this stone have visible inclusions?

This stone is graded as VS (Very Slightly Included). While Tourmalines naturally tend to have inclusions, a VS grade means any internal characteristics are difficult to see with the naked eye, especially in this faceted cushion cut Loose Gemstone.

Why is the price so low ($40/ct)?

Wikigemia sources directly from cutters and mines, eliminating wholesale markups. We provide the best price globally by selling direct to the consumer.
