The two types of green tourmaline are chrome tourmaline and verdelite tourmaline. Verdelite tourmaline is the most common form of green tourmaline, with a deep green hue and strong luster. Chrome tourmaline has an intense, luminous green color due to traces of the element chromium. Either type of gemstone is perfect for making eye-catching jewelry pieces, such as green tourmaline rings, earrings, and pendants. However, verdelite tourmaline is the more affordable gemstone.

Green Tourmaline Rings to Suit Any Style
From Gemstone to Ring: The Art of Creating Green Tourmaline Jewelry
Crafting a handmade green tourmaline ring involves several steps. First, the chosen metal - white gold, rose gold, or yellow gold - is weighed and melted. The molten metal is then poured into a rectangular mold and flattened with a roller. To shape the ring to the correct size and thickness, the gold is heated with a torch and molded gently. Once the size is confirmed, the gold is cut to the desired shape and polished to a high shine. Finally, the green tourmaline or other gemstone of choice is set into the ring to create a stunning piece of jewelry. This process can be applied to all types of rings, regardless of the metal used.
The best green tourmalines are those free of visible inclusions, as impurities can lower the value of the gem. When selecting tourmalines of other colors, such as pink or purple, it is advisable to opt for ones without visible inclusions, as these also tend to be more valuable.
How does green tourmaline differ from other types of tourmaline?
Green tourmaline has a distinct hue that sets it apart from other varieties of tourmaline. It is typically more saturated in color compared to pink or purple tourmalines, and can range from olive green to bright, vivid green. Additionally, green tourmaline tends to be more abundant than other types of tourmaline, making it more accessible and purse-friendly.
What Other Types of Tourmaline Rings are there?
Tourmaline rings and jewelry articles are available in a wide array of colors and hues, including green, blue, yellow, pink, red, black, brown, and even colorless gems. A green tourmaline ring is a unique and eye-catching piece, with the coloured gemstone making a statement. Pink tourmaline exudes lightness and refreshment, or can be bold in a hot pink hue. A black tourmaline bezel set gem, seen in our "Forget Me Knot" double knot range, makes for a bold and masculine choice.
