Pearl is soft at 2.5 to 4 on the Mohs scale, so put these on after perfume and hairspray and wipe them with a soft cloth after wear. Tourmaline is the October birthstone and a durable 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale. Most tourmaline reaching the trade is untreated, though some material is heated or irradiated to improve colour, a stable and permanent process, and included material is sometimes clarity-enhanced. No origin or laboratory report is implied. Tourmaline is brittle and heat sensitive, so clean it with warm soapy water and a soft brush, never an ultrasonic or steam cleaner.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Diamond \u0026 Sapphire","offers":[{"title":"14K White Gold","offer_id":47928766005426,"sku":"88438:119:P","price":609.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14K Yellow Gold","offer_id":47928766038194,"sku":"88438:108:P","price":609.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14K Rose Gold","offer_id":47928766070962,"sku":"88438:121:P","price":609.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Platinum","offer_id":47928766103730,"sku":"88438:111:P","price":799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/0924\/4338\/files\/akoya-pearl-natural-pink-tourmaline-drop-earrings-14k-white-gold.jpg?v=1787323329","url":"https:\/\/diamondandsapphire.com\/products\/akoya-pearl-natural-pink-tourmaline-drop-earrings","provider":"Diamond \u0026 Sapphire","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
