Tourmalated Quartz Jewelry by Variance Objects

Tourmalated Quartz Jewelry

Tourmalated quartz contains natural tourmaline lines inside clear or milky crystal. We cut around that internal drawing rather than interrupting it.

About Tourmalated Quartz

In tourmalated quartz, rods and threads of tourmaline pass through a body of quartz. Their direction, density and color form a composition that cannot be repeated.

We orient the rough to keep those inclusions legible, allowing clear areas, clouding and mineral lines to share the surface. The final shape follows what is inside the stone, and the setting is then fabricated around it by hand. The result keeps the contrast between quartz and tourmaline visible from every angle.

Sourced with Intention

Ethical Gemstones

We use Kimberly Process certified diamonds and traceable colored gems from trusted, family-run sources.

Recycled Precious Metals

Most of our precious metals are recycled, but not all. Our unique handmade process lends itself to less waste and less toxicity.

Respect for the Rough

All our colored gemstones are cut from rough stones. We highlight the rough beauty of each stone with a focus on color variation, rough formation and natural textures.
