Why Cross Jewelers is so Deeply Involved in Maine Tourmaline

Cross Jewelers has been a part of Maine tourmaline history since the early 1900's, when Mr. William Cross, our founder, began pursuing a personal interest in gem cutting. As he worked to perfect his technique as a gem cutter, he cut and polished beautiful green tourmaline from Mt. Apatite, near Auburn, Maine. Many of the gems he cut were fashioned into pins and rings of the period, and were created in his manufacturing jewelry shop here in Portland.

Today, we are still creating jewelry from William's private store of these almost-emerald-green Maine tourmaline, as over 2,600 carats of green crystals remained untouched in the vault for over fifty years after he passed away in 1931.

It was the outstanding quality of the 1972 Plumbago Mountain tourmaline though, that prompted our designers to begin creating a major collection of jewelry featuring Maine tourmaline - the official gemstone of the state of Maine. Today our collection is maintained at more than 700 pieces of Maine tourmaline jewelry in a wide range of styles and designs. Part of our fascination in working with Maine tourmaline is the unique nature of each gem, making every piece of jewelry truly special.
