When it comes to creativity with men's tourmaline rings, there is no limit to the depths one can plunge into. First, feel free to draw inspiration from styles from the past like Art Deco or Art Nouveau details or Victorian-era motifs to create timeless and sophisticated looks. What are these eras specifically?
Art Deco:
This is a design style that started in the early 20th century and became very popular during the 1920’s and 1930’s. The use of linear patterns (this is the use of straight lines and angles) and streamlined designs which are characterized by fluid, flowing lines and simple forms which invoke an aura of modernity and elegance are a few examples of its prevailing features. It also features bold colors and materials that form a beautiful contrast. Design elements of the Art Deco include milgrain which normally has intricate beaded edges with filigree design like metalwork resembling lace. Art Deco tourmaline rings may feature geometric settings, bold color combinations, and intricate metalwork like milgrain and filigree.

Art Nouveau:
This decorative art movement started from the late 19th century to the early 20th century. Art Nouveau means "new art" in French. It is heavily characterized by forms inspired by nature, such as flowers and plants. This style has influenced a lot of art forms including decorative arts, architecture and jewelry design enforcing the integration of art into everyday life. Prevailing features of Art Nouveau include intricate details, curves and a sense of romance and imagination. Its design elements like filigree will incorporate metalwork that will reflect natural forms like plants or repousse with raised designs that showcase natural imagery.

You can also experiment with different combinations of metals to create a unique look. Mixing metals can add all the contrast to your tourmaline ring. The mixing doesn’t have to stop there. You can also pair your tourmaline with other gemstones such as sapphires or rubies to add visual interest to your ring. Unconventional shapes are also in season with a lot of styling of cuts like trillion or rose-cut. For those of you with a taste for simplicity however, you can choose minimalist designs. Opt for sleek and understated settings that will give the tourmaline all the attention while maintaining a modern aesthetic.
Decorative Techniques For Tourmaline Rings
There are certain decorative techniques used in combination with design elements to create the most amazing men’s tourmaline rings, for an incredible, one-of-a-kind antique/vintage look. These include:
Milgrain: Tiny bead patterns of that nature are created along the edges of the metal to create a row of small grains. What this does is, it adds details to the piece accentuating the elements of design.
Repousse: This is a design technique that involves metalwork. This technique, involving hammering the reverse side of the metal to showcase the designs and patterns, creating a three-dimensional effect makes the design appear raised above the surface. This is usually used to create decorative motifs in jewelry and metalwork.
Cannetille: This delicate form of metalwork involves wire filigree or openwork designs. To create patterns that are reminiscent of embroidery, thin metal wires are coiled and soldered. This adds texture and decorative elements to jewelry especially in vintage pieces.
Exploring the Variety of Tourmaline for Men's Rings
Tourmaline is one of the most diverse gemstones ever, with a vast range of colors and options to accommodate every style and preference. For men seeking a daring and masculine jewelry piece, there is the black tourmaline prized for its bold opaque look. Then there is verdelite, the green tourmaline representing growth and renewal, perfect for men who appreciate that hue and its appeal. For those who seek brighter, more foundational colors, the blue tourmaline with its calming color is the perfect choice.
