Wide band, heavy solid 18K White Gold, F-VS DIAMONDS
SquareTrade © AP6.0Exquisite, custom made heirloom quality CLEAN Neon Blue Green Paraiba Tourmaline and Diamond wide-band ring fit for a queen. Approximately 1/2 ounce of stamped 18KT solid White Gold, a weighty substantial 10.80 grams. The 1.00 carat center Neon Paraiba Tourmaline is a glorious, exceptionally clean Blue-Green, boasting ideal color and absolutely magnificent clarity - nearly IF. .55 ctw. of very fine full cut round brilliant Diamonds, graded minimum of VS clarity, F color (colorless). This extremely high quality triple-shank ring is simply a stunner, and one of only 3 custom made! This beautifully designed limited edition ring features a SUPER FINE genuine, earth-mined Neon Blue Paraiba Tourmaline weighing approximately 1.00 ct. Central gemstone is approximately 8x6mm with brilliant Portuguese cutting applied to the oval. The color and clarity of this luscious gem is magnificent! Like the Pool Water Blue out of Brazil, this gemstone is so richly, evenly saturated with vibrant tone and eye popping NEON BLUE-GREEN, it will attract attention.
The clarity of this center Paraiba Tourmaline gemstone is superb: absolutely eye clean, very nearly IF flawless. Only one tiny clear needle can be found under standard 10 power magnification. Given this is a Type II gemstone, like Emerald, which are normally quite included, this is a VERY clean gemstone. While almost all Cuprian Paraiba Tourmaline gems have some presence of rutile needles and crystals, they can often appear reddish in color and can negatively impact the appearance (and the value) of the gemstone. Not this beauty! The large photos allow you to look right into the heart of this juicy gemstone and you will see nothing but color, even at the very strong 16 power magnification which our photos offer. Gemologically known as Cuprian Elbaite, this copper bearing tourmaline is professionally recognized as Paraiba Tourmaline. Cuprian refers to copper content, and Elbaite is gemological term for the Tourmaline. This type and size of near IF clarity very rare Paraiba Tourmaline has become every collector's must have. High end jewelers are now featuring the finest examples of this extraordinary gemstone in their pieces and are commanding tens of thousands of dollars per carat! Prices have soared since the original find.
While Cuprian (copper-bearing) Paraiba Tourmaline comes in just about every color of the rainbow and all are expensive and very rare, this POOL WATER BLUE remains the most highly desired and expensive to acquire. All genuine Tourmaline gemstones appear differently in various lighting: lighter and brighter in bright light, darker tone in indirect or dimmed light. This sensational ring will not go unnoticed on your hand, yet it's utterly tasteful and whispers: "high class". Just over 1/2 inch wide knuckle to knuckle, the solid 18 kt White Gold band is clad in glittering top gem quality colorless Diamonds. The triple split shank features a total of 38 full cut round brilliant VS clarity, F color Diamonds, all hand set into beaded prongs. The center row of diamonds splits off as it meets the 3/4 bezel-set Paraiba. This fabulous ring tapers to a comfortable 4 mm at the base of the band (just under 1/4 inch). The impressive low profile design stands just 5 mm high, sitting flush with your finger, reducing risk of snagging your silks or your favorite sweater. The band is 3 mm thick in solid 18KT White Gold. Very heavy 10.80 grams, yet incredibly comfortable to wear. This heavy, solid 18K ring mount alone, with over half carat of VS-F Diamonds could not be replaced today at this price - and the Paraiba Tourmaline is just slightly shy of IF flawless clarity! The ring size is currently a generous 6.75, and your jeweler should be able to re-size it to some extent. Shipped in an attractive presentation case of fine Cherrywood.
Tourmaline is one of the October birthstones (along with Opal).
