Pave Tourmaline Ring 2.32 Ct., 18K Rose Gold

This ring centers on a transparent 2.32 carat pink tourmaline, cut in a radiant shape with precise dimensions of 8.17 by 8.13 by 5.20 millimeters, and set in a refined 18 karat rose gold mounting by The Natural Gemstone Company. The tourmaline displays a medium intense color saturation that reads as a pure, lively pink under daylight, and its clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, indicating that the stone is clean to the unaided eye and only shows minor internal characteristics under magnification. The gem has undergone a disclosed heat treated enhancement that is a routine and stable treatment for tourmaline, applied to gently optimize hue and uniformity without compromising structural integrity. The cut is a radiant, which combines the fire of a brilliant facet arrangement with the clean, geometric outline of a step influenced plan, and the excellent polish reported on this gem yields crisp facet junctions and a highly reflective finish that enhances both brilliance and color depth.

The precision of the faceting is a defining element of this piece and is evident in the way light is managed within the stone. The radiant cut in this example exhibits a carefully balanced crown and pavilion relationship, with a measured depth that is about 64 percent of the average table span, a proportion chosen to maximize internal light return and to avoid excessive windowing that would weaken the perceived color. The faceting plan employs a combination of small, well aligned crown facets and a patterned pavilion that distributes scintillation evenly across the table, producing lively flashes on movement while maintaining a stable, saturated pink when viewed face up. The pavilion facets have been cut with symmetry and proportionality in mind, so that bright flashes are produced without creating obvious dark zones, and the trimmed corners typical of the radiant form contribute to secure prong placement while softening the visual geometry for a modern, elegant presence on the finger. Excellent polish ensures that each facet face is smooth to the eye and reflects light cleanly, an attribute that greatly enhances apparent clarity and contributes to the gemstone feeling larger and more vibrant than its carat weight alone would suggest.

Complementing the center tourmaline are white round shaped lab grown diamonds with a combined weight of approximately 0.108 carats, each set as delicate accents along the shoulders of the ring. These diamonds carry a clarity grade of Very Slightly Included, reported as VS1 and VS2, which means that inclusions are minute and typically only detectable under 10 times magnification, and a color grade of F that assures a near colorless appearance in contrast to the warm pink center. The small, well matched diamonds are selected to accentuate the center stone without competing for attention, and their bright, near colorless nature lifts the overall palette, creating a crisp transition from the rosy glow of the tourmaline to the soft sheen of the rose gold. The choice of lab grown diamonds provides traceability and a responsible sourcing profile, appealing to buyers who value both gemological quality and ethical considerations, while still offering the optical performance expected of high grade diamond accents.

Taken together, the material choices and cutting quality make this ring a compelling purchase for an educated buyer who values transparency in grading and origin, and precision in cutting. The tourmaline hails from Mozambique, a region known for producing intensely colored, gem quality tourmalines, and the disclosed heat treated enhancement is consistent with industry practice to stabilize and intensify desirable hues. The clarity assessment as very slightly included at eye level, combined with the excellent polish and the disciplined faceting proportions, yield a gemstone that reads as clean, lively, and finely finished on the hand. The 18 karat rose gold setting not only complements the pink hue with a warm metal tone, but also provides a durable and luxurious platform for the gem and diamond accents, with a gallery elevation and prong architecture designed to protect the trimmed corners of the radiant cut. At The Natural Gemstone Company we emphasize measurable cutting decisions and honest disclosures because they translate directly into long term value for the owner, and this ring exemplifies a balanced approach to color, cut, clarity, and setting that appeals to connoisseurs seeking both beauty and gemological integrity.
