Beacon Hill
A Beautiful Boston Ring
With a Brilliant Maine Tourmaline
I had a girlfriend a long time ago. I took her to Boston, and on our first day there, we hiked the streets of Beacon Hill. She said more than once, “I want to live here one day.” I married her instead. My jewelry store is located in Portland, Maine. I love Maine, and so does she. Both of us have lived out our lives in Maine.
We did develop a classic ring, a descendant of our Boston family of rings—three gems with a color center and diamonds east and west. The design is in yellow and white gold. Beacon Hill is sleek and elegant, like the sophisticated cobblestone streets leading to the Charles.
We’ve shown nine doors from the streets of Beacon Hill. Whenever I look at this ring, I see the many days I’ve spent wandering the beauty of Boston’s most famous hill.
Why We Love This Ring
First, this is a true Maine gem—a green Maine tourmaline from America’s first gem mine. The gem is 200 million years old. This is a classic, highly wearable right-hand ring, with its colored center and two sparkly, eye-catching diamonds on the east and west sides. Because this is a Maine tourmaline, it’s a ring with serious credentials of authenticity. Two hundred million years will outrank anyone claiming native Maine status. It’s a beautiful ring.

Maine Tourmaline, A Maine Story
An American Gem
First discovered in 1820 and in subsequent finds over the years, these early discoveries put Maine on the world map as a source for high-quality tourmaline gems. A major discovery in 1972 on Plumbago Mountain in Newry, Maine established Maine as a significant world source of fine tourmaline gemstones.
Cross recognized the historical significance of this find and began working closely with the miners of these magnificent gems. The close partnership continues today with the ongoing discoveries in Maine’s western mountains.
100% Natural
We go to Maine’s gem mines. We know the miners. We know the gem cutters. We guarantee our tourmaline to be from Maine and is 100% natural. Cross maintains the largest collection of fine Maine tourmaline jewelry in the world.
Window of Opportunity
Fifty years have passed since the major 1972 tourmaline find in Newry, Maine where they found 3.5 million carats of tourmaline crystals. Over the years we bought more than we sold knowing that gem finds don’t last forever. There are now colors, sizes, and shapes that are extremely rare and, in some cases, no longer available. If you see something you love it’s best to act quickly. There’s no guarantee another gem like this one exists.
Case in point: In 2007 there was a find of tourmaline in Newry, Maine called Eureka Blue. People loved the color. The gems sold quickly, but the find was small and the mining only lasted a few seasons. Within three years of the discovery, all the large Eureka gems had sold. We still get calls from people who are now ready to buy. What they want, however, simply no longer exists from that find in 2007.
Gem finds are rare, especially in North America. Maine tourmaline is a piece of Maine and American history, it’s a connection to a place we all love, an exquisite creation of nature. Today, there is a rare opportunity to own a bit of Maine/American pride and heritage, and history in choosing a piece of Maine tourmaline jewelry.
