This original watercolour painting of pink tourmaline, the October birthstone and 8th wedding anniversary, is painted on cold-pressed, slightly textured paper and mounted with an unframed size of 23cm x 23cm. The pink tourmaline symbolises love, compassion, and gentleness. Signed by R. Cox for authenticity, it can be personalised with a name, date of birth, or even words like ‘October’ or ‘Pink Tourmaline’ to create a thoughtful, unique gift. Having been a gemmologist before returning to art, I now combine my two passions, capturing the beautiful way light dances across the gemstone’s facets.
