Before electric light, ships ran on ingenuity. The early sailing vessels that crossed oceans and charted coastlines had a problem that every sailor below decks knew intimately - darkness. The solution was the deck prism: a thick glass prism set flush into the deck that refracted sunlight down into the hull, filling the spaces below with a warm, shifting, underwater quality of light that no lamp could replicate. It was one of the most elegant engineering solutions the age of sail ever produced. And it became, in time, one of the most beautiful objects the maritime world has ever made.
Nautora's Green Tourmaline Sea Prism Necklace draws its inspiration from that history - and the result is one of the most distinctive and genuinely beautiful pendants in the entire collection. At the center of a sterling silver Guy Harvey signature frame sits a lab-created green tourmaline stone, hand-faceted on both sides to fit the frame precisely and to scatter and refract light the way the original deck prisms did - with a depth and luminosity that shifts with every movement, catching the light from a new angle every time.
The lab-created green tourmaline is chemically and optically identical to mined tourmaline - the same brilliance, the same color depth, the same play of light - produced without the environmental cost of mining. The color is the vivid, saturated green of shallow tropical water over sand, and the hand faceting gives both faces of the stone a brilliance that flat-cut stones simply cannot match. The sterling silver frame carries a light natural patina that gives the whole piece a warm, lived-in character that complements the stone beautifully.
At seven-eighths of an inch wide the pendant wears with quiet presence and genuine elegance - the kind of piece that works at a beach wedding as easily as it does on a Tuesday morning. The pendant comes on a sturdy stainless steel chain with a lobster claw clasp in your choice of three adjustable lengths.
At Nautora, we hold every piece in the Sea Prism Collection to heirloom quality. This green tourmaline sea prism necklace is built to be worn every day and treasured for a lifetime.
