Untreated Tourmaline For Sale on 1stDibs
Find the exact untreated tourmaline you’re shopping for in the variety available on 1stDibs. Each design created in this style — which was crafted with great care and often made from gold, 18k gold and yellow gold — can elevate any look. Our collection of these items for sale includes 50 vintage editions and 270 modern creations to choose from as well. Finding the perfect untreated tourmaline may mean sifting through those created during different time periods — you can find an early version that dates to the 18th Century and a newer variation that were made as recently as the 21st Century. An untreated tourmaline from Polya Medvedeva Jewellery, Peter Suchy and Debra Navarro — each of whom created a beautiful version of this treasured accessory — is worth considering. An untreated tourmaline of any era or style can lend versatility to your look, but a version featuring tourmaline, from our inventory of 190, is particularly popular. See these pages for an oval cut iteration of this accessory, while there are also cushion cut cut and emerald cut cut versions available here, too. There aren’t many items for men if you’re seeking an untreated tourmaline, as most of the options available are for women and unisex.
How Much is a Untreated Tourmaline?
The price for an untreated tourmaline starts at $86 and tops out at $301,417 with these rings, on average, selling for $6,388.
The Legacy of Tourmaline in Jewelry Design
Very few gems dazzle quite in the manner that tourmaline does — vintage and antique tourmaline jewelry is a showstopper, and you can blame this on its wide range of spectacular colors. In fact, when Dutch traders brought stones back home from Sri Lanka that they couldn't identify, they called them "toramalli," a Sinhalese term for "mixed gems."
If you could transform the ocean to a gem, this is what it would look like: a clear, translucent azure, bordering on turquoise, hypnotizing in its depth and sparkling in the sun.
There is, in fact, such a stone, although it comes from deep in the copper-rich mountains of Paraíba, Brazil, and not from the oceans along its coast. Far rarer than diamonds, Paraíba tourmaline, a kind of tourmaline discovered only in the 1980s, is treasured as much for its extraordinary color as its scarcity, both of which contribute to its high value.
While diamonds generally sell for about $6,000 per carat, a carat of Paraíba tourmaline is likely to fetch about $16,000. Fans of the gem are said to include singer Taylor Swift and actress Zooey Deschanel, as well as some of the finest jewelers.
“No other stone can have a color as magnetic and captivating as Paraíba tourmaline,” says Vania Leles of VanLeles Diamonds, who combines the stone with diamonds and other gems in several of her designs.
You don't have to stop at Paraíba tourmaline jewelry — on 1stDibs, find the most extraordinary antique and vintage tourmaline rings, tourmaline and diamond earrings and other accessories.
