Reddish-Pink to Pink Tourmaline 14K Yellow Gold Pendant 6 mm Round Faceted Gemstone Vintage Hand-Made Jewelry October Birthstone
This is a natural 1.06 ct Tourmaline that is prong set in a 14 K yellow gold basket pendant setting. The tourmaline, is eye clean (VS) with a bright and lively reddish-pink color in bright sunlight. Under indoor lighting is appears a beautiful, hot pink (see last photo).
The pendant is 11 mm in length (from the top of the bale to the bottom of the stone) and 6mm deep. The coin in the photos is a US penny (1 cent) = 19.05mm in diameter
The photos are of the pendant offered here. Check them out and if you have any questions, message me for prompt response. I described it as vintage because I made it back in the day, however it’s never been worn… just packed away in my case when I closed my shop in ’92.
————————————————————————–
I began selling gems and minerals and studying gemology in the late 1980’s. I travelled around the states with gem/mineral and craft shows for a couple of years before settling in Gainesville, FL where I opened a shop called The White Cloud. In 1992, I got a job counseling, packed all the store stuff away and forgot about it until now. What a surprise to find these beautiful crystals and minerals after all that time…
