Black Tourmaline Sun Necklace
Necklace Length Guide
Choosing the right necklace length can make all the difference to how your jewellery sits and feels. Our visual guide shows the four most popular lengths on an average neckline so you can easily see where each one falls:
-
14" – Choker Length
Sits closely around the base of the neck. Perfect for a snug, elegant fit or for layering with longer pieces. -
16" – Classic Short Necklace
Falls just below the collarbone on most people. A timeless everyday length and ideal for small pendants. -
18" – Standard Pendant Length
Rests on the upper chest. This is our most popular and versatile length for gifting, flattering most necklines. -
20" – Longer, Relaxed Length
Sits a little lower on the chest for an effortlessly elegant look. Great for creating a layered style or adding extra movement.
Tip: Everyone’s proportions are a little different. If you're choosing a gift, 18" is the safest all-round option—beautiful on its own and easy to layer with other pieces.

Real black tourmaline, set into our sun pendant
A 6mm black tourmaline cabochon sits at the heart of a 20mm sun pendant — raised sun rays radiating from the centre, framed by a textured outer rim. Our black tourmaline is genuine and natural, with the deep, opaque black colour and quiet weight that has made it the most-worn protection stone in modern crystal tradition.
An October Birthstone Necklace with Meaning
Tourmaline is one of the two October birthstones (alongside opal) — black tourmaline specifically is long worn as the Stone of Protection, valued as a steady, grounding shield against unwanted energy and an anchor for the wearer's own. The sun design gives the deep black stone a warm, fitting setting: a meaningful gift for an October birthday, a moment of transition, or anyone in need of quiet protection and a stronger sense of ground.

About Black Tourmaline
Black tourmaline is a member of the tourmaline family, prized for its iron-rich composition that gives the stone its characteristic deep black colour and its long-standing reputation as a grounding, protective crystal. The name "tourmaline" comes from the Sinhalese word toramalli, meaning "mixed gems" — a nod to the family's incredible colour range, of which black tourmaline is the most worn for everyday protection. Long carried by travellers, healers and anyone working in busy or charged environments, it's traditionally associated with the root chakra and the steadiness that comes from a strong base. The black tourmaline in our Sun Necklace is genuine and natural, with the deep, opaque black tone the stone is most loved for. A meaningful gift for October birthdays, 8th wedding anniversaries (the traditional tourmaline anniversary), or anyone in need of grounded calm.
Black Tourmaline Benefits
- Stone of Protection — long worn as a quiet, steady shield against unwanted energy
- Negative Energy Shield — traditionally carried to deflect ill intent and clear emotional weight
- Grounding and Stability — connected to a sense of being anchored and surely on the ground
- Balancing and Vitality — supports a steady centre and renewed physical and emotional energy
- Root Chakra and October Birthstone — aligned with the root chakra for grounded strength, and one of the two traditional October birthstones
Care
The chain and pendant are water and tarnish resistant — but the black tourmaline is bonded into the centre and prefers a little protection. Remove your necklace before showering, swimming, saunas or applying perfume and lotion to keep the stone secure and looking its best. Store in your Abiza box when not worn.
