Accent Stones Tourmaline Ring 2.11 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

This ring centers around a transparent 2.11 carat emerald cut greenish blue tourmaline, a gem that commands attention through its exceptional color and cut. The stone measures 9.29 by 5.87 by 4.67 millimeters, presenting a balanced length to width ratio that emphasizes the classic step facets of the emerald cut. Clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which for an educated buyer means a clean appearance to the naked eye while retaining natural character under magnification. Color saturation is described as intense, producing a deep greenish blue hue that reads rich and lively in both daylight and evening light, and the polish has been evaluated as excellent, ensuring crisp facet junctions and strong, even reflections. The tourmaline originated in Brazil, a proven source for fine greenish blue varieties, and it has undergone professional heat treatment to enhance its color in a stable and widely accepted manner. These combined attributes create a centerpiece that is both visually striking and technically sound for collectors and connoisseurs who value documented origin and transparent treatment disclosure.

Complementing the central tourmaline, the ring features natural white baguette shaped diamonds totaling approximately 0.40 carats. These straight baguette stones are selected for their clarity grades of Very Slightly Included, specifically VS1 and VS2, and for their near colorless F grade, which provides a bright, clean contrast to the richer body color of the tourmaline. The diamonds are precision cut in a baguette form to sit neatly along the shoulders of the band, enhancing linear elegance without competing with the central stone. The entire composition is set in 14K yellow gold, a choice that balances warm tone with practical durability. The excellent polish mentioned for the tourmaline is matched by careful metal finishing, and the setting workmanship secures each stone while maintaining refined sightlines. The result is a ring whose design language is understated and architectural, with controlled brilliance from the diamonds and a bold, saturated focal point from the tourmaline.

Durability was a principal consideration in both gem selection and metal choice, making this ring well suited for daily wear. Tourmaline offers solid toughness for a colored gem, sitting at approximately 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, which provides good resistance to everyday abrasion when worn with reasonable care. The additional hardness provided by the natural diamonds, combined with the resilience of 14K yellow gold, creates a practical ensemble for regular use. Fourteen karat gold contains alloyed metals that increase scratch and bend resistance compared to higher karat alternatives, and the secure setting of the stones helps protect girdle edges and facet corners from incidental knocks. Heat treatment of the tourmaline is a stable enhancement, not requiring special storage conditions beyond standard jewelry care, and the excellent facet polish will help minimize the visual impact of micro surface wear over time. For daily maintenance we recommend routine gentle cleaning with a soft brush and mild detergent, periodic professional inspections of the mounting, and mindful removal for strenuous activities, chemicals, or abrasive tasks, practices that will preserve the stone integrity and finish.

This piece represents the blend of gemological transparency and practical design that collectors and informed buyers appreciate, combining documented origin from Brazil, clear disclosure of heat treatment, specific clarity grades for both the tourmaline and the accent diamonds, and quality metalwork in 14K yellow gold. The proportions and Emerald cut of the center gem make it a confident focal point that remains wearable, while the white baguette diamonds add architectural rhythm and refined sparkle. At The Natural Gemstone Company we emphasize materials that deliver both beauty and longevity, and this ring exemplifies that approach, offering a durable, elegant, and well documented choice for someone seeking a daily wear piece with collectible quality.
