The pendant features a gorgeous bi-color greenish-blue tourmaline cut by Alexander Kreis (Germany). The gem is surrounded by 14k yellow gold, with three diamonds at the base. A green tourmaline completes the pendant, set at the top of the design. The pendant is suspended from an 18” Wheat style chain.
Earth-Mined Gemstones:
Bi-Color Greenish-blue Tourmaline 19x15.5mm / 2.90ct
Round Green Tourmaline, 3.5mm / 0.15ct
Round Brilliant Cut Diamonds 3=0.08ctw F color, VS clarity
Collector’s Note: Alexander Kreis–Cut Gem
An Alexander Kreis–cut gem is not factory perfection—it’s artistic intuition. Kreis cuts completely freeform, by hand, without a predetermined pattern. He studies the rough, listens to the material, and lets the gem dictate what it wants to become. No two gems are ever alike. Based in Germany near Idar-Oberstein—the historic heart of European gem cutting—the Kreis family has more than 500 years of continuous gem-cutting tradition, passing down skill and sensitivity to gems through generations. Instead of forcing symmetry or chasing carat weight, Alexander prioritizes optical movement, internal architecture, and the natural personality of the gem. Collectors seek his work because it’s the opposite of mass production: each piece is a conversation between cutter and gem, a one-of-a-kind sculpture in miniature.
