This estate pink tourmaline ring with diamonds is crafted in 14k yellow gold, weighs 10.5g and measures 12mm wide and 7mm deep. Impressive and extravagant in style, this estate pink tourmaline ring exposes a significant oval-faceted 4.38ct pink tourmaline graded an eye-pleasing 'vivid-fuchsia' color and 'good' clarity artfully mounted in a simulated 'tension setting'. The tenderly colored gemstone is embraced by diamond-encrusted, multiple-layered shoulders of captivating 'escalier' design, cumulatively channel-set with 1.50cts of full-cut diamonds graded 'light-brown' color and SI clarity range. Gracefully tapering shoulders merge into a sturdy yellow gold band and an easily sizable, size 7.5 shank.
With an incomparable spectrum of colors, tourmaline has been called 'the gemstone of the rainbow' since ancient times. Deriving its name from the Singhalese words 'tura mali' meaning 'stone with mixed colors', tourmaline's array of colors includes from red to blue and from blue to yellow, each possessing several shades and some changing under different lights or showing a cat's eye effect. Tourmalines are mixed crystals of aluminum boron silicate with a complex and changing composition and crystals of a single color are fairly rare. The more widely known varieties within the color spectrum of this gemstone are 'rubellite' tourmaline with an intense red color, the pink tourmaline, the 'indigolite' or the blue tourmaline, and the 'verdelite' with its emerald- green color. The highlight amidst all tourmaline varieties is the 'Paraiba' tourmaline, a gemstone of intense blue to blue-green, discovered in 1987 in a mine in the Brazilian state of Paraiba.
