That's why bigger strands cost more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs watermelon tourmaline durable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Tourmaline rates 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, so the beads hold up well to regular wear. The silk is the part to protect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow do you care for a tourmaline and silk necklace?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo care for a tourmaline and silk necklace, take it off before swimming, showering, or applying lotion or perfume. Store it flat so the silk doesn't stretch over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between solid gold and gold-filled?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSolid 14K gold is gold all the way through and won't wear away. Gold-filled has a layer of gold over a base metal.
