【staff blog】October's birthstone: "Tourmaline"

Tourmaline is the birthstone for October.

In this feature, we are focusing on Paraiba tourmaline, which is exceptionally rare even among tourmalines.

As those of you who follow our Instagram and blog may already know,

Paraiba tourmaline is said to be one of the three rarest gemstones in the world.

It is a highly popular tourmaline that captivates the heart with its beautiful blue hue.





At MONAKA jewellery, we do not adhere to conventional standards of gemstone value. Instead, we embrace inclusions and variations in color as part of the stone's charm, and we offer gemstone jewelry with a diverse range of expressions.

The Paraiba tourmalines we are introducing this time are one-of-a-kind pieces, each with its own completely distinct appeal, so we hope you will take a look!


Let’s start by introducing the rings♩





Two Paraiba tourmaline rings, each with a different expression.

We will introduce the charm of each one individually♩










A Paraiba tourmaline matrix with an impressive large, round stone.

This piece captures the unique shades and brilliance that only a natural stone can offer, with the Paraiba tourmaline crystal intertwined with the host rock (matrix) and other minerals (such as quartz).

Because it is cut in a large size, you can truly appreciate the innate fascination of the stone.





Styled here with a small diamond placed alongside for a gorgeous look.

The inclusion of the host rock gives it a casual sparkle rather than being overly formal, making it easy to wear with your everyday outfits for a fashionable impression.

We also love that it makes a strong statement on its own while also being perfect for stacking.

【ProngRing Size 14, K18YG/Paraiba Tourmaline 3.06ct】









A ring featuring a beautiful, translucent light blue stone with a sharp trillion cut.

Its high level of transparency, clear enough to see through to the other side, adds glamour and elegance to your hand.

It also subtly incorporates two types of precious metal: K18YG and Pt900.

By using platinum specifically for the stone setting, the stone is further accentuated.

The band is adorned with a total of eight small diamonds.
