Frequently Asked Questions
What does AA quality mean for this green tourmaline?
AA is a mid-to-upper tier quality grade indicating that the stone contains slight inclusions — minute natural characteristics formed during the gem’s growth deep within the earth. In a green tourmaline of this grade, these inclusions are typically not visible to the naked eye and do not compromise the stone’s brilliance or structural integrity. They are, in many ways, a hallmark of authenticity, confirming that this is a wholly natural, unaltered gemstone.
What jewellery settings suit a 1.15-carat round green tourmaline?
At 5.5 mm round, this tourmaline is a beautifully versatile size — substantial enough to command attention as a solitaire ring or pendant centrepiece, yet refined enough to sit elegantly in stud earrings or a delicate bracelet setting. It pairs exceptionally well with yellow gold, which warms its green hues, as well as white gold or platinum, which allow its natural colour to speak for itself. Our craftsmen at Yala Gems are happy to advise on bespoke setting options to suit your vision.
Is green tourmaline a durable choice for everyday jewellery wear?
Green tourmaline ranks between 7 and 7.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it a genuinely resilient gemstone well-suited to everyday wear when set thoughtfully. Its durability, combined with its remarkable brilliance and colour stability, has made it a favoured choice among jewellery designers and collectors alike. With proper care — gentle cleaning and secure settings — a fine tourmaline can be enjoyed across generations.
How should I care for my green tourmaline gemstone?
We recommend cleaning your green tourmaline with warm water, a mild soap, and a soft brush, then patting it dry with a lint-free cloth. Avoid prolonged exposure to ultrasonic cleaners, harsh chemicals, or extreme temperature changes, as these can affect the stone’s surface over time. When not in use, store it separately from harder gemstones such as diamonds or sapphires to prevent surface contact. With mindful care, the vivid green brilliance of your tourmaline will endure beautifully.
