Another one of those stones that questions how Mother Nature does what she does. Tourmalines come in many guises. The Watermelons grow looking like a pencil. The outer layer is green and the core color is red. The cutter uses a strong light to see into the interior to evaluate the quality of the colors. The stronger pieces are then sliced like bologna and polished. Voila! A jewel! Always unique and always an attention magnet. The 14K Yellow Gold SASA Handmade setting brings out the color and the beauty. Stunning pinks and greens of this October's birthstone are found in Brazil and yes in sunny San Diego, CA. In fact for a nominal fee, the nearby Pala mine will let you get dirty digging in their dirt and keep what you find. Good luck and be prepared to pay your laundry bill. Watermelons are a historic world favorite among royals and commoners alike and always get admiring stares and provoke feel good happy moods to those wearing them. This pair is suspended from 10 mm 14K gold hoops which are removable and can be worn separately. Insert a stud through the space vacated by the hoop and voila, you have a jacket. A 3rd earring option.
