Tourmaline necklaces are very versatile pieces of jewelry. Since tourmalines come in a variety of colours, and we usually like to mix the colours in one necklace, the tourmaline necklace becomes a piece that you can wear with many different clothes. Mixed with sterling silver, the tourmaline necklace can go from the office to a party easily and look appropriate for both places. The tourmaline is the alternate birthstone for October.
Tourmalines were originally brought to Europe from Sri Lanka by the Dutch East India Company.
