The gorgeous necklace featured on this year’s cover is the rare and wonderful mandarin orange spessartine garnet. Discovered in 1991 in a remote part of Namibia, these intense bright orange gems are millions of years old and evoke the fiery red-orange of the spectacular African sunsets.
Exceptional brilliance and fire displayed in a beautiful crystal from the colour of mandarin oranges to the deepest blood orange, these gemstones promote energy, individuality and joy of life. No one can predict how long the supply will last, even with the recent discovery of a mine in Nigeria.
Created by nature in a myriad of colours, tourmalines display nearly every hue of the rainbow. Whatever your skin tone, there is a tourmaline to suit you. From the hot shocking pink rubellite and soft rose pink tourmaline to the subtle chocolate pink tourmaline set in rose gold, there is a colour to tempt you. And if you can’t make your mind up, there are the wonderful, hard to find, bi- and tri-colour tourmalines.
Even more unusual in the world of coloured gemstones is the fabulous electric turquoise blue of the Paraiba tourmaline discovered in the 1980’s in a now inactive Brazilian mine. Extremely rare and expensive, the jewellery world is fortunate that new deposits of a similar colour have recently been mined in Africa. Attracting you from across the other side of the room, the vivid and hypnotic blue tourmaline, once seen, is never forgotten.
