A True Black with Real Character
Black tourmaline, known to mineralogists as schorl, is a crystalline silicate rich in iron that gives the stone its signature opaque black color and subtle vitreous luster. Tourmaline is one of the most colorful mineral families on earth, and the black variety remains the most popular for jewelry because it pairs effortlessly with almost any palette. The name comes from the Sinhalese word "tura mali," meaning a stone of mixed colors. Today, tourmaline is sourced from regions including Brazil, Pakistan, and parts of Africa.
Sizes, Shapes, and Finishes
Our collection of natural black tourmaline beads covers the sizes and cuts that designers ask for most. Choose from popular 4mm, 6mm, 8mm, and 10mm diameters, along with a range of shapes: smooth rounds, freeform nuggets, rondelles, cubes, coins, and chips. Prefer extra sparkle? Our faceted black tourmaline beads are precision-cut to catch the light from every angle, ideal for accent strands and statement focal points. Smooth and matte finishes are also available for earthy, boho-inspired looks.
Designed to Pair Beautifully
Black tourmaline is a designer favorite because it grounds a color story without competing with it. It looks striking against sterling silver and gold-filled findings, and it complements gemstones like moonstone, quartz, turquoise, and agate. Use it as a spacer, a bold centerpiece, or a full strand in men's and unisex jewelry where a clean, structured black is essential.
