In this article, you can read more about the meaning of tourmaline, its different colors, and why this stone is so popular in sustainable jewelry.

The meaning of tourmaline
The name tourmaline comes from the Sinhalese word "turamali," which means "stone with mixed colors." And that is exactly what makes this gemstone so special. Tourmaline occurs in almost every shade of the rainbow.
Traditionally, the stone is seen as a protective and grounding gemstone. It is said to help release negative energy and provide peace, balance, and focus: qualities that still appeal to many people today.
Although there is no scientific proof for these effects, the symbolism is beautiful: tourmaline symbolizes inner strength and self-confidence, and is often worn as a reminder to stay true to yourself.
Colors full of character
One of the nicest things about tourmaline is that each color has its own unique radiance.
🌸 Pink tourmaline (rubellite) symbolizes love, compassion, and feminine power. Soft in color, but strong in presence.
💚 Green tourmaline (verdelite) represents growth, energy, and connection with nature. Fresh and clarifying.
💙 Blue tourmaline (indicolite) is rarer, with a deep color that radiates calm and clarity.
🖤 Black tourmaline (schorl) is often seen as a protective stone, warding off negative energy and bringing stability.
🌈 Watermelon tourmaline is a combination of pink and green in one stone, loved for its playful contrast and joyful energy.
In Kluttery’s collection, you will primarily see pink and green shades. Each piece is repurposed from old jewelers' stocks in Europe. No two stones are identical, which literally makes each piece of jewelry one of a kind.
A sustainable choice
Tourmaline is often referred to as the "stone of the rainbow," but within Kluttery, it has an additional layer: sustainability.
The tourmalines I use do not come from new mines but from old collections of former jewelers. This means: no extra raw materials, no new extraction, but reuse of what already exists.
These leftover batches are often decades old and have a beautiful natural luster that is sometimes lost in modern, machine-cut stones. By repurposing them, each stone gets a second life. But with a luxurious look and an honest story.
Tourmaline in your jewelry collection
What makes tourmaline so special is its combination of color, meaning, and wearability.
It is strong enough for daily wear, yet elegant enough for special occasions.
Whether you prefer subtle bracelets with small gemstones or statement necklaces with sparkling hues: tourmaline adapts effortlessly. The stone combines beautifully with both silver and gold, and brings every outfit to life with its vibrant luster.
At Kluttery, you will find tourmaline incorporated into hand-knotted bracelets, delicate necklaces, and limited edition earrings. All made with leftover stones, luxurious clasps of .925 silver or 14K gold filled, and packaged in sustainable gift wrapping.
Colorful, meaningful, and conscious
Tourmaline is more than a gemstone. It is a symbol of color, strength, and authenticity.
Whether you wear it for its meaning, its appearance, or simply because it suits you beautifully. With tourmaline, you always wear something with personality.
