Maine Tourmaline Lobster Claw Necklaces

Maine Tourmaline

Lobster Claw Necklace

I fought the lobster thing for years. I was fierce, like a lobster defending my territory. Customers asked about a claw and tourmaline June, July, August, September; they tried to buy at other times of the year too. They called every year, we got dozens of requests for Maine tourmaline set in a lobster claw.

Finally, I relented. We made one; it sold in a day. We made another one and it sold in a day or two. We made more, couldn’t keep up they sold so quickly.

If I think about it, lobster is the #1 thing everyone who lives out of state wants to do first when they arrive…have a lobster. Add genuine Maine tourmaline, the state’s official gemstone….

1 lobster + 1 Maine tourmaline =
A perfect 10.
Clearly, the two together are a clear winner.

A lobster freshly pulled out of the ocean off the Maine coast is green in color. Steam a Maine coast lobster for 12 minutes, it turns pink-red. Our sterling silver lobster claw comes with a green or pink Maine Tourmaline, possessing two powerful symbols of Maine

This shows scale, both relative sizes and in comparison to a dime.
The dime is 18mm in diameter.

Where’s the Best Lobster Roll?

Being in lobster country you’d think we’d know the answer, but if you ask 10 Portland residents you’ll likely get 10 different recommendations.
There are too many variables to crown “the best” – toasted bun or plain roll, butter or mayo, simple or seasoned, warm or cold?

We offer our Cross staff favorites (most in the Portland area):

• Baileys Lobster Pound, Scarborough – a lot of lobster at a good price
• Jay’s Oyster Bar, Portland – a salty Maine bar experience
• Bite into Maine at Fort Williams – creative rolls from a food truck
• Huot’s Seafood Restaurant, Saco – near the beach
• Lobster Shack at Two Lights, Cape Elizabeth – a roll with a view

If you have a favorite Maine lobster roll destination, it will always be with you as you sport a Maine Tourmaline Lobster Claw Pendant.
