Description

This ring from the middle years of the last century is colorful yet classic. The transverse ring face presents a sparkling triumvirate of precious gemstones: We see a glowing green tourmaline as well as two transitional-cut diamonds. The diamonds are set in white gold. The ring itself is made from a slightly reddish gold. The tourmaline is faceted in a round star cut and is of very good quality. Compared to classic gemstones such as emeralds and sapphires, tourmalines are a more recent discovery. They have only reached Europe regularly since the 18th century, first from Ceylon and then from Brazil. This is why their name does not come from Greek or Latin, as is usually the case, but is derived from the Sinhalese word for "colorful stone", turmali. The name already gives it away: tourmalines come in many colors. Green and red, pink and yellow tourmalines are common, often in mixed colors. A special feature of tourmaline is its strong so-called "pleochroism". This describes the fact that the tourmaline changes its color impression depending on the direction in which the stone is viewed: Usually it is the same color in varying intensity, but sometimes the color of the stone also changes. In this case, the color of the tourmaline changes between a lighter grass green and a darker frog green. Both colours can usually be seen at the same time and alternate with each other with every movement of the stone. The expressive ring is beautifully preserved. Its geometric, expressive design language reveals the influence of late Art Deco. A wonderful eye-catcher in fresh spring colors.
