Queen’s Green is the color you’d get if a gemstone woke up glowing and refused to stop. It’s bold, rich, and a little dramatic—exactly what you’d expect from a color with the word queen in it.
This is the kind of green that demands its own entrance music. The kind of green that assumes there will be a parade, or at least a scone, wherever it goes. It’s confident, it’s charismatic, and it absolutely expects to be addressed with a small bow.
Set in gold and surrounded by a court of dedicated diamonds, Queen’s Green is not here to blend in. It’s here to reign, sparkle, and possibly negotiate a treaty with your other rings. (Naturally Queen’s Green will receive preferential duties at all parties.) Slip it on, and prepare for unsolicited compliments, a sudden urge to issue royal decrees, and the distinct feeling that you might—just might—deserve your own throne.
Real Tourmaline
*Important Disclosure: We mine Maine tourmaline in Maine, just 28 miles north of our store. 92% of all tourmaline we show and sell is found in Maine’s western mountains. Every once in a while we see a tourmaline found somewhere else in the world that is so fine, so beautiful we can’t resist. This is one of those rare, choice World gem pieces. The 1.84 carats green World tourmaline found in this ring is not from Maine, but from Nigeria.
Cross’ Maine and World Tourmaline Promise
We at Cross think of ourselves as the center of the Maine tourmaline universe. We fancy ourselves to be World tourmaline savvy. We admit to keeping an eye open to tourmaline possibilities from outside our Maine borders because the gem tourmaline is the freest, most liberal, and most beautiful color expression of all gems known to mankind.
Absolute Firewall
We maintain an absolute firewall between Maine mined gems and alternative World sourced tourmaline gems. We do this because it is vital to us and we know it’s vital to you, too. We take the origin of tourmaline deeply, deeply seriously. There is never a pretend or an error. Everything is clearly marked and positively identified. Our firewall of source identity is absolute.
