💎 Birthstone Significance:
Tourmaline is the celebrated birthstone for October. While often seen in pink, the Green Tourmaline (Verdelite) offers a sophisticated, earthy alternative to the traditional Opal. It symbolizes vitality, courage, and a deep connection to nature—making this cuff a perfect, grounding talisman for October birthdays or anyone seeking a fresh start.
💎 Metaphysical Properties:
Green Tourmaline is known as a stone of vitality and healing. It resonates with the Heart Chakra, channeling the wholesome energy of nature to soothe the spirit and encourage compassion. Just as a walk in the forest restores the soul, wearing green tourmaline is said to bring a sense of balance and endurance.
🌲 Inspiration:
"The Hood River cuff is a love letter to the dense, magical forests of Oregon. The mix of silver and gold mimics the play of light and shadow among the trees, while the green tourmaline grounds the wearer in the earth's natural palette."
