The story: It is worth talking here about the history of the triology ring but also of the tourmaline. With its three stones, the Trilogy ring is a ring with a strong symbolism, commonly associated with time: the past, the present and the future. The interpretation can be extended to other “triptychs”: beauty, strength and wisdom; Man, Heaven and Earth; the head, the heart and the mind… If we retain the symbolism of time, the Trilogy ring marks the three fundamental stages of a couple’s life and therefore lends itself particularly well to an engagement ring full of meaning. Green tourmaline, on the other hand, comes in a wide range of shades. There are stones ranging from bottle green to yellow-green to olive green. Since the seventeenth century and the discovery of the green tourmalines of Brazil by the Spanish conquistadors, it has been confused with the emerald. It often replaces the latter, hence its popularity. Stone of the month of October, green tourmaline is associated in lithotherapy with the revival of peace of mind and serenity.
