Some tourmaline forms are dichroic; they change color when viewed from different directions—all shades of tourmaline in one jewelry piece.

Authentic, natural color. No thermal or other mechanical treatments were used.

The necklace is fastened with a very comfortable sterling silver clasp with a natural pink tourmaline cabochon.

The bead knotting is traditionally done with silk thread, placing a knot between each bead to prevent them from rubbing against each other.

The weight of the necklace is 150 grams.
