Sometimes something truly special crosses our bespoke jewellery path and this is one of those moments.
We are delighted to present an exceptional 15.18 carat natural petrol blue tourmaline, a gemstone that embodies quality and beauty in equal measure. Carefully sourced for its remarkable size and distinctive colour, this is a rare opportunity to own a stone of this calibre, and work with us to transform it into a one-of-a-kind piece of bespoke jewellery.
What immediately sets this tourmaline apart is its mesmerising teal hue. Sitting beautifully between deep green and blue, the colour reveals a captivating complexity that evolves with the light. In natural daylight, the stone comes alive with flashes of vivid turquoise, bright and expressive. Under softer lighting, it deepens into rich, forest-like tones, offering a more contemplative and mysterious character. This subtle interplay of colour gives the gemstone a sense of movement – a living quality that makes it endlessly intriguing.
Such natural variation is precisely what makes this tourmaline such an incredible centrepiece for a bespoke W&W creation. It offers not just beauty, but personality, providing the perfect foundation upon which something truly unique can be designed.
Whether envisioned as a sculptural ring, an elegant pendant, or a striking cuff bracelet, the possibilities for this gemstone are virtually endless. To help bring its potential to life, our talented designer Narell has created an initial bespoke concept, offering a vision of how this extraordinary stone could be showcased.
Inspired by the game Mikado, the proposed cuff design explores layers of intersecting yellow gold bars, set with diamonds, sapphires and petrol-hued tourmaline, creating a sense of controlled movement and tension around the centre stone. Fine guilloché enamel detailing adds texture and depth, while the rich yellow gold setting enhances the tourmaline’s remarkable colour shifts.
This design concept is intended to inspire, a demonstration of the creative possibilities this gemstone presents. As a loose stone, the tourmaline can be transformed into many different designs depending on an individual’s vision, whether that is inspired by Narell’s concept, adapted from elements of it, or is something completely unique developed with our team from scratch.
Opportunities to acquire gemstones of this calibre are increasingly rare. Pieces like this seldom appear on the open market, making it an exciting prospect for collectors and jewellery lovers alike.
We warmly invite you to experience this remarkable tourmaline in person at our London studio. To learn more or arrange a private viewing, please contact Richard and Simon on 020 7924 2386.
