Description

This is an 18k solid gold ring with an incredible Paraiba blue tourmaline. The gemstone is from Namibia (the Erongo mine) and is some of the best blue tourmaline I have seen. It’s color is somewhat rare in that there are only a few localities around the world that produce blue tourmaline in this color value. The most famous is the Paraiba region in Brazil but geologists point out that S. America was once attached to Africa millions of years ago and speculate that this might be why we see similar colors from two very distant areas.

Larger clean pieces of this material are extremely rare. Don’t be fooled by imitations or treated (heated) apatite with similar color. This is completely natural and it is the real deal.

The design of the ring is a simple one with twisted wire around the bezel and twisted wire around the band. The setting is accented with a few tiny gold balls.

The ring at its widest point is approx. 3/8” wide (at the front) and the band is just under 3/16” wide at the back.
