Description
The Super Long Black Tourmaline Earrings – Energetic Protection, silver, are long dangle earrings. They combine dark beauty with the protective power of the stone. Each earring is adorned with a round, natural black tourmaline 10 mm in diameter. Below the stone sway two 11.5 cm chains interlaced with round links. Together they form a light, openwork composition that moves with every turn of the head.
These black tourmaline earrings are for women who love bold yet subtle jewellery. The deep black of the stone contrasts beautifully with the silver shine of the steel. The long chains visually elongate the neck and add lightness to the silhouette. That is why these neck-elongating earrings look so good with updos and short hair.
I make all the earrings entirely by hand in the Ametyst Studio workshop. I use silver-coloured 316L stainless steel to make them. The open French hook fastening is comfortable and easy to put on. I also secure them with silicone stoppers so the earring does not slip out of the ear. I personally check every pair before shipping.
Black tourmaline earrings are above all jewellery with character. They work at a festival, a banquet, a party and in everyday outfits. They are light, comfortable and original. These are super long earrings that catch the eye without overwhelming the face.
Symbolism
Black tourmaline has been regarded as a stone of protection for centuries. Its deep black symbolises a shield that stops negative energy. In many cultures it was worn as an amulet against the evil eye and envy. Black tourmaline earrings carry this ancient symbolism into a modern, elegant form.
Where does the Polish word “kolczyk” come from?
The Polish word for earring, "kolczyk", comes from the word "kolec", meaning a spike or thorn. Early earrings were shaped like a sharp pin that pierced the earlobe. Over time the name came to cover all ornaments worn in the ears. Old Polish also used the term "zausznice", meaning ornaments worn "behind the ears".
Such temple rings were popular among the Slavs as early as the early Middle Ages. Archaeologists often find them in women's graves. Slavic women wore them at the temples, attached to a headband or woven into their hair. Earrings have therefore always been not only an ornament but also a sign of identity.
Earrings as an amulet
In many ancient cultures earrings had a protective function. It was believed that evil forces could enter the body through its openings, including the ears. A metal ornament with a stone was meant to block their way. That is why earrings were often decorated with stones considered protective.
According to a popular story, sailors wore gold earrings in case they died at sea. The earring was supposed to pay for their burial in a foreign port. This is more legend than documented history. It shows, however, how many meanings this small ornament has carried over the centuries.
Black tourmaline – the guardian stone
The black variety of tourmaline is called schorl. The name comes from the Saxon village of Schorl, near which the stone was mined. Schorl is the most common tourmaline in the world. Even so, its deep, impenetrable black has fascinated people for centuries.
Tourmaline has an unusual property called pyroelectricity. When heated, it generates an electric charge and attracts specks of dust. Perhaps that is why people believed it also attracts and holds negative energy. It is called a guardian standing on the border between you and the world.
Black in jewellery
Black jewellery has a long and fascinating history. In the 19th century it was made famous by Queen Victoria. After the death of her husband, Prince Albert, in 1861, she wore mourning for the rest of her life. Jewellery made of jet, a black stone mined in Whitby, England, then became fashionable at court.
Over time, black earrings stopped being associated only with mourning. They became a symbol of elegance, mystery and individuality. Today they are worn both by lovers of classic style and by fans of gothic or rock style. Black goes with everything and never goes out of fashion.
A stone by the face
Earrings are the jewellery worn closest to the head, the centre of thought. In energy traditions, a stone by the face is meant to protect the mind from sensory overload. Black tourmaline is said to help quiet racing thoughts and keep a clear head. That is why black tourmaline earrings are popular with people who get overstimulated easily.
The composition of the earring has its own symbolism too. The round stone stands for wholeness and a protective circle. The two chains growing out of it resemble paths along which energy flows. The round links join them into one whole, like the links of a chain that gives strength.
Properties
Black tourmaline has been credited with many valuable properties for centuries. According to tradition, black tourmaline earrings:
- protect against negative energy and the evil eye;
- help you stay calm amid noise and crowds;
- absorb stress and tension;
- support clarity of thought and concentration;
- help you shut out other people's emotions;
- ground you and give a sense of security;
- strengthen self-confidence and inner strength;
- help you set boundaries in relationships.
Many people treat these earrings as a personal talisman. Simply put them on in the morning with an intention, for example: "I am safe and calm." When you feel the gentle movement of the chains, you will remember your intention.
Light and comfortable earrings
Long earrings are often associated with weight and sore ears. These are different. The openwork chains and links keep the earrings light despite their impressive length. They are comfortable earrings you can wear all day, and even all festival night.
The open French hook slides easily into the ear and does not press on the lobe. The silicone stoppers keep the earring in place while dancing and moving. Thanks to them, you do not have to worry about losing an earring in the crowd.
When to choose these earrings?
Super long black tourmaline earrings suit many occasions. They are worth choosing when:
- you are looking for festival earrings that will catch the eye;
- you need elegant earrings for a banquet, a wedding or New Year's Eve;
- you are choosing earrings for a party, a concert or a date;
- you have short hair and are looking for earrings that will highlight your hairstyle;
- you want to visually elongate your neck and slim your face;
- you love black earrings and dark-themed outfits;
- you feel drained by other people's emotions and need protection;
- you are looking for original earrings as a gift for her.
Festival earrings
A festival is a time of music, dancing and freedom. It also means crowds, noise and lots of stimuli. Black tourmaline festival earrings combine a striking look with the protective symbolism of the stone. The long chains move beautifully to the rhythm of the music and catch the stage lights.
Festival jewellery should be comfortable and well secured. That is why these earrings come with silicone stoppers that keep them in place. They suit boho, rock and dark festival outfits. They look best with a mesh top, a corset or a flowing dress.
Festival outfits with black tourmaline
Festival outfits follow their own rules. What counts is boldness, comfort and playing with form. Black earrings go with almost any festival look. Pair them with a black bodysuit, a wide belt and cowboy boots. You can also go for a white lace dress and a wide-brimmed hat.
Add a touch of silver glitter or sparkly gems to your face. Put a black tourmaline hand chain on your hand and a body harness on your chest. This creates a coherent, dark and magical whole. Festival jewellery from one collection looks considered and truly striking.
Earrings for a banquet and a wedding
Silver-tone earrings with stones are a classic of evening elegance. Black tourmaline and the silver colour of steel create a noble, understated combination. These elegant earrings look beautiful with a little black dress, an off-the-shoulder gown or a boat neckline. The long chains can replace a necklace and add sparkle to the outfit.
Earrings for a party
At a party, what counts is boldness and freedom of movement. Dangle earrings with a stone sway with every turn and draw attention. They are light, so they do not get in the way when dancing. They go with a leather jacket as well as a sparkly dress.
Silver earrings for every day
Long earrings do not have to wait for a special occasion. These silver-tone earrings also look beautiful at the office and on a walk. Pair them with a black turtleneck, a white shirt or a simple jumper. Because they are so light, they do not tire your ears even after many hours.
Earrings for her – a gift idea
Looking for a gift for your wife, partner, sister or friend? Black tourmaline earrings are an original gift with a message. They say: "I want you to be safe and feel beautiful." They are perfect for a birthday, a name day, an anniversary or just because.
Best for the zodiac signs
Anyone can wear black tourmaline, whatever their zodiac sign. Astrology, however, points to a few signs that this stone particularly favours.
Capricorn is the sign most often linked with black tourmaline. Capricorns are ambitious and demanding of themselves. Black tourmaline earrings remind them to rest and protect their own strength.
Scorpio loves black, mystery and intense emotions. Long black earrings perfectly suit its magnetic personality. Tourmaline protects it from jealousy and manipulation by others.
Libra has tourmaline among its stones, because it is the October birthstone. Libras love beauty and harmony. Elegant earrings help them keep their balance when their surroundings are full of tension.
Gemini have a lively mind and many thoughts at once. Black tourmaline by the face is said to help them focus and calm down. Light, moving earrings also suit their changeable, cheerful nature.
Pisces is a very sensitive and empathetic sign. Pisces easily absorb other people's moods. Black tourmaline earrings create a protective circle around them and help them keep their own boundaries.
Aesthetic qualities
The super long earrings enchant with lightness and movement. The round black tourmaline is a clear accent by the ear. Below it flow two silver-tone chains with round links. The composition is openwork, so the earrings look striking but not heavy.
Every tourmaline is natural, so each has a slightly different character. The stone may have delicate striations, matte areas or small natural imperfections. They make your pair of earrings one of a kind. The black of the stone contrasts beautifully with the cool, silver shine of the steel.
Dangle earrings with a stone
Dangle earrings with a stone have a unique dynamism. The stone by the ear draws the eye, and the chains lead it downwards, along the neck. With every movement the earrings gently sway and reflect the light. If you love dangle earrings with stones, this design will surely delight you.
Earrings that elongate the neck
The vertical line of the long chains visually elongates the neck. The face looks slimmer and the silhouette lighter. It is one of the simplest ways to add elegance to an outfit. I especially recommend neck-elongating earrings for round and square face shapes.
Shoulder-grazing earrings
The 11.5 cm chains make these earrings truly long. On many people they gently brush the shoulders, especially when the head moves. This depends on the length of the neck and how they are worn. Shoulder-grazing earrings look most beautiful with bare shoulders and deep necklines.
Earrings for short hair
With short hair, long earrings are fully visible. They accentuate the jawline and add femininity to the hairstyle. They look beautiful with a pixie cut, a bob and a short asymmetric cut. Long hair is best put up in a bun or a ponytail, or tucked behind the ear.
Handmade earrings
I make every pair by hand in my workshop. I join the stones, chains and links myself, taking care of every detail. I make sure both earrings are symmetrical and hang well. Handmade earrings have something that cannot be replicated in mass production.
Best paired with
The earrings are part of the black tourmaline collection. They look most beautiful alongside other pieces with this stone. They go well with the 2-in-1 Black Tourmaline hand chain and necklace, which adorns the hand or the neck. For a festival or a photo shoot, add the Black Tourmaline body harness – Protective Energy Armour.
If you want all three pieces, choose the Black Tourmaline Body Jewellery Set. You will get it at a better price than the pieces bought separately. For everyday outfits, add a black tourmaline ring or the delicate Yana choker. Lovers of dark styling will also adore the Arabian Princess face mask with black tourmaline.
In terms of clothing, the earrings love black, white and greys. They look best with a turtleneck, a strappy top, an off-the-shoulder dress or a shirt open at the neck. For festival outfits, choose a mesh blouse, leather shorts and combat boots. For a banquet, go for a black gown and a minimalist clutch.
Make-up in dark, smoky tones suits the earrings. Go for smoky eyes, a bold liner and a dark lipstick. For a daytime look, mascara and nude lips are enough. The earrings themselves are a bold accent.
How to care for it?
316L stainless steel is durable, and black tourmaline is a hard stone. Even so, the earrings will keep their beauty longer if you take care of a few details:
- put the earrings on after applying perfume, hairspray and cosmetics;
- take them off before bathing, swimming, exercising and sleeping;
- make sure the chains do not catch on a scarf, jumper or hair;
- after wearing, wipe the earrings with a soft, dry cloth;
- store them separately, ideally hanging or in a pouch, so the chains do not tangle;
- protect the stones from knocks against hard surfaces;
- do not use abrasives or harsh detergents;
- clean the hooks regularly for hygiene.
The silicone stoppers are small and easy to lose. It is worth storing them together with the earrings. If a stopper wears out, you can easily replace it with a new one.
Cleansing black tourmaline
Black tourmaline is believed to absorb negative energy. That is why it is worth cleansing it regularly, especially after a festival or a difficult day. You can smudge the earrings with sage smoke or place them overnight on an amethyst cluster. Then recharge them in moonlight, ideally during the full moon.
Material
- natural black tourmaline (schorl), 10 mm in diameter;
- silver-coloured 316L stainless steel;
- two 11.5 cm chains in each earring;
- round links joining the composition;
- open French hook fastening;
- silicone safety stoppers;
- entirely handmade in the Ametyst Studio workshop.
Open French hook earrings – what does it mean?
An open French hook is a fastening shaped like a bent hook. You slide it into the ear piercing from the front and let it hang freely. It has no clasp, so the earring goes on quickly and effortlessly. Such a hook lets the earrings hang freely and sway beautifully.
The drawback of an open hook can be the risk of the earring slipping out. That is why I equip every pair with silicone stoppers. They go on the end of the hook behind the earlobe. Thanks to them, open hook earrings are as secure as earrings with a clasp.
Steel earrings – why 316L steel?
316L is surgical steel, used among other things in medicine. It is highly resistant to corrosion, moisture and sweat. It does not tarnish or change colour, even with frequent wear. Steel earrings are therefore durable and undoubtedly practical for every day.
The silver colour of steel looks noble and suits every skin tone. Unlike silver, steel does not need frequent polishing. It is a good choice for those who want silver-tone earrings without the hassle of tarnishing.
What is black tourmaline?
Black tourmaline is a mineral from the silicate group. It forms elongated, striated crystals of a deep black colour. It is mined, among other places, in Brazil, Africa, Pakistan and the United States. In Poland it occurs, for example, around Strzegom in Lower Silesia.
Tourmaline is hard and scratch-resistant. That makes it well suited to jewellery worn often. The stone in the earrings is round, which highlights its deep lustre.
Who are these earrings for?
Super long black tourmaline earrings are for women who are bold, sensitive and aware of their energy. They will appeal to festival-goers and lovers of boho, rock and gothic style. They will also be loved by women looking for elegant silver-tone earrings with stones for special occasions. Without a doubt, they are original earrings for anyone who wants to feel protected and beautiful.
These lightweight earrings are perfect for a festival, a banquet, a party, a date and work. They elongate the neck, look beautiful with short hair and draw attention without going over the top. These are black earrings that may well become your favourites.
