A bi-colour tourmaline is a stone that displays two distinct colours — sometimes more — within a single crystal, such as pink and green, or green and colourless. This phenomenon results from variations in the crystal's composition during its formation. Every stone is therefore entirely unique.
Watermelon tourmaline is the most celebrated bi-colour variety: it features a pink centre surrounded by a ring of green, evoking a slice of watermelon. Cut as a slice to reveal this contrast, it is particularly sought after for its striking, wholly natural effect.
Its unique character and dual colouring make it a stone full of personality — one that can never be exactly replicated. It is a bold and original alternative to diamond, ideal for those who want a truly singular jewel that reflects their own story.
With a hardness of 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, bi-colour tourmaline is a resilient stone well suited to regular wear. It is, however, softer than sapphire or diamond: we recommend a protective setting (bezel or halo surround) and a little everyday care to keep its brilliance lasting for years to come.
It depends on the stone. Some bi-colour tourmalines retain a completely natural colour, while others are gently heated to enhance their hues. In every case, we disclose any treatment applied, as a matter of full transparency.
Open-faceted cuts (emerald, cushion) and polished slices are particularly effective at revealing the contrast between the two colours. The choice of cut is decisive: we select each stone carefully and orient the setting to bring out its bi-colour character to the full.
The main deposits are found in Brazil (notably for watermelon tourmalines), Mozambique, Nigeria, Madagascar and Afghanistan. Every stone we offer is carefully selected for its colours, clarity and brilliance.
