Description
This is a gorgeous 3-stone 22k solid gold ring. The design is an interpretation of ancient Etruscan styles with highly detailed band.
The center stone is a medium-to-dark blue tourmaline from Afghanistan. This material is known for its color and clarity and this piece is very clean and bright with no visible imperfections. The side stones are perfectly matched amethyst from Rwanda and are clean top-grade material with a pale violet color.
This was a difficult item to photograph but I have tried to accurately capture the color of the gemstones. The last image was taken outside with indirect lighting to give you an idea of what the ring might look like in natural light.
In some of the photos the accent or side stones appear to be different colors. I think this has to do with the direction from which it was lit when photographed or light that is reflected back from inside the settings. I can assure you they are exactly the same color and in fact were cut from the same piece of material to ensure a perfect match. To my eye, they are a pale light violet color and complement the center stone extremely well. They may appear pinkish in some of the photos where you are viewing them from an angle but when viewed straight on you can see that they truly are a pale violet.
The ring at its widest point is approx. 5/16” wide (at the front) and the band is approx. ¼” at the back. It is a medium weight ring weighing nearly 9.0 grams.
