Tourmaline brooches are prized for their vibrant colours and exceptional variety, showcasing one of the world’s most versatile gemstones. Found in shades ranging from vivid pink to deep green, these gems lend themselves beautifully to decorative jewellery. Renowned maisons such as Cartier and Bulgari regularly craft these stones into floral shapes, animal motifs and geometric designs, combining artistic craftsmanship with natural beauty. Their rarity, individuality and colourful appeal have made them enduring favourites among collectors — a tourmaline and diamond flower brooch by JAR was sold by Christie’s for CHF 1.2 million in 2012.
