OCTAGON PAIR 2.56 ct | PINK TOURMALINES
Curated Elegance: The Rwanda-Harvested Pink Tourmaline Pair
From the heart of a 2024 private gem-hunting expedition in Rwanda, we unveil a captivating duo of octagon-cut pink tourmalines — radiant treasures ethically sourced from a fine parcel rough originally unearthed in the mineral-rich lands of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Handpicked by discerning eyes and entrusted to us by a respected Rwandan gem merchant known for his integrity and impeccable taste, this pair is a testament to our ongoing relationship with trusted sources who deliver only the most refined material. With a heritage of quality — some of his past gems having already graced discerning collectors’ hands — this parcel offered a few select marvels... and these two pink beauties are among its crown jewels.
Each gem in the pair was meticulously curated and masterfully cut into refined octagonal silhouettes, designed to complement each other as a harmonious set. Though one gem is slightly larger and the slightly smaller one is delicately lighter in hue, their shared brilliance and clarity make them ideal candidates for either a statement duo or singular high jewelry creations.
Both stones are eye-clean, exhibiting only whispers of inclusions that reveal themselves only under magnification or directed light — hallmarks of their natural origin and authenticity.
Elegant. Ethical. Exceptional.
These tourmalines are not just gemstones — they are rare narratives of origin, craftsmanship, and enduring beauty.

Important Note to Our Esteemed Collectors and Shoppers
In the world of fine gemstones, color reigns supreme. When selecting a gemstone, prioritize color above all else—it defines the gem’s personality, value, and visual impact. Clarity follows closely, enhancing brilliance and purity.
While cut and size contribute to beauty and presence, they are considered secondary— unless you’re exploring exceptional categories such as Rubies, Sapphires, Emeralds, Alexandrite's, Tsavorites, Spinels, Diamonds, Paraiba Tourmalines and other rare Collector’s Gems. In these cases, size becomes a significant factor, especially when paired with extraordinary color.
As you shop on our platform, let this timeless gemological wisdom guide your choices— ensuring each selection is both meaningful and magnificent.
