Rare Indicolite Blue Tourmaline Cabochon in 18k Gold Ring

Dive into a deep glacial pool of indicolite blue tourmaline. This outstanding gemstone is cut en cabochon, a glossy oval bezel set with an east/west orientation in buttery 18k gold. The chunky gold solitaire setting has nary a harsh angle; it's all voluptuous luxury.  A stippled finish gives this Modernist piece an ancient aesthetic. The ring is luscious, but it's all about the incredible blue tourmaline. Circa 2000.

Tourmaline is a special gem that comes in a spectrum of colors. It is said to radiate an energy that attracts money, healing, and friendship. Indicolite tourmaline is truly rare; only a few mines produce high-quality specimens, making it a precious find.

Details... Currently a size 7. The top of the ring measures 15mm by 11.4mm, and the band is 3.5mm wide. In Very Good Estate Condition. You should always expect some wear on vintage and antique jewels; we consider it part of the charm.
