Petite Dangle: Black Tourmaline Earrings

Small enough for every day. Strong enough to keep the bad vibes out. Black tourmaline is the go-to stone for protection. It's linked to the root chakra and is known for grounding you, shielding you from negativity, and helping you stay steady when everything around you feels chaotic. Its name comes from the Sinhalese word "turmali," from Sri Lanka, where gem traders found it mixed in with other stones. It even has a little science magic: when warmed or pressed, tourmaline creates its own electric charge. Dutch traders once used heated tourmaline to pull ash out of their pipes. Deep, glossy black, it goes with absolutely everything. This pair is cut in a special healing tube shape, a faceted cylinder with clean angled ends. In crystal tradition, the tube cut is said to let energy flow smoothly through the stone. At about 1 inch long, including hoop and stone, these little dangles are playful without getting in the way. Wear them to work, to the beach, or stacked with your favorite studs. The hoops are high-quality rhodium plated brass, hypoallergenic and lead- and nickel-free, so they're gentle on sensitive ears and built to last. A classic look that never goes out of style, with all the comfort you need to wear them from morning coffee to sunset. Handmade with Love in California.
