Vintage Tourmaline Engagement Rings

Celebrate mid-century glamour with our Vintage Tourmaline Engagement Rings. The mid-20th century was a golden age for coloured gemstones, and the tourmaline - with its bold, saturated greens and pinks - was a favourite of designers during the 1940s and 50s. These rings reflect the optimism and architectural confidence of the era, offering a high-impact choice for a modern proposal.

Each vintage tourmaline engagement ring in our collection has been selected for its exceptional fire and clarity. Unlike the delicate filigree of earlier periods, vintage designs often embrace substantial goldwork and sleek, polished surfaces. These rings are perfect for the bride who wants a pop of vibrant colour and a silhouette that feels both nostalgic and fashion-forward.

The Bold Features of Vintage Tourmalines

A hallmark of a vintage tourmaline engagement ring is the scale and cut of the stone. In the mid-century era, tourmalines were often cut into large "Emerald" or "Rectangular" shapes to highlight their impressive colour zoning and clarity. These stones are known for their durability, making them an excellent choice for daily wear. Set in 9ct, 14ct, or 18ct gold, the metal provides a warm or crisp frame that makes the tourmaline’s colour truly "pop."

Mid-Century Modern Designs

Vintage designs often feature "Retro" influences, such as flared shoulders, architectural "stepped" settings, and bi-colour metal details. You may find tourmalines paired with baguette-cut diamonds or set into "starburst" mounts that radiate light. This era moved away from ornamentation in favour of form and function, resulting in Art Deco tourmaline engagement rings that have a strong, confident presence on the hand while remaining timelessly elegant.

We also have Edwardian Tourmaline engagement rings for alternaitive designs.

A Vibrant and Unique Proposal

Choosing a vintage tourmaline engagement ring for your proposal is a wonderful way to honour a partner with a bold sense of style. The tourmaline is the stone of "joy" and "compassion," making it a beautiful emblem for a lifelong partnership. Its striking colour ensures it remains a focal point, providing a joyful and sophisticated alternative for those who want a ring that is both a historical treasure and a modern statement piece.
