Description
This is a beautiful 18k solid gold ring set with a large pink tourmaline. The piece has what I call a crown pattern around the bezel and fine wire details on the band.
The gemstone is from Brazil and is deep pink with a hint of red. It is clean and bright and has no visible imperfections or inclusions. Large clean pieces of tourmaline like this are extremely rare.
Because the stone is so clear and transparent light passes through it and reflects off other things in the setting sometimes giving it the appearance of black or darker zones in the stone. The 6th and final photo in the series was taken outdoors in natural light and may give the most accurate representation of the gemstone’s color. It does seem to shift between a deep pink and almost a red hue depending upon the light.
The ring at its widest point is approx. 3/8” wide (at the front – top to bottom) and the band is approx. 1/4” at the back.
