Accent Stones Rubellite Tourmaline Ring 3.03 Ct., 18K White Gold

This ring centers on a remarkable 3.03 carat oval rubellite tourmaline, measuring 11.00 by 7.78 by 5.16 millimeters, cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize both table brilliance and pavilion sparkle. The stone exhibits intense color saturation, a vivid pinkish red that is characteristic of the finest rubellites and unusually even across the table and crown, which is a primary factor in its visual impact and market desirability. Clarity is described as very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which for an experienced buyer means the inclusions are minimal, do not interfere with light performance, and remain unobtrusive without magnification, contributing to an eye clean appearance. The combination of size and saturated natural color, together with an excellent polish and the absence of any enhancement, makes this particular rubellite a rare presentation, because untreated material of this quality from Madagascar is increasingly scarce and sought after by collectors and connoisseurs alike.

Flanking the center stone are natural white marquise shaped diamonds with a combined approximate weight of 0.48 carats, selected for their complementary proportions and classical elegance. Each diamond carries a clarity grade of Very Slightly Included, with individual grading levels at VS1 and VS2, which ensures an eye clean look and consistent scintillation under normal viewing conditions. The color grade of F places these diamonds in the near colorless range, which is especially important when set in platinum 950, because the cool white metal heightens perceived whiteness and allows the intensity of the rubellite to remain the focal point without introducing warmth. The marquise cut on the shoulders visually elongates the finger and creates graceful lines that guide the eye back to the center stone, while the precision of the cutting and the VS clarity grades ensure stable light return, balanced fire, and refined contrast with the center tourmaline.

Security and longevity are central to the construction of this piece, the ring is fully executed in platinum 950 for enhanced durability, natural whiteness, and resistance to wear, which together provide a foundation for long term everyday wear. The rubellite is held in a classic four prong seat that has been engineered with reinforced prong shoulders and a low profile gallery to balance security with comfort. The prongs are robust and positioned at cardinal points to protect the girdle and to secure the stone against lateral knocks, while the basket and prong junctions are soldered and finished to factory tolerances to prevent movement over time. The marquise diamonds are set in complementary secure settings along the shoulders with shared prong and channel elements to minimize snagging and to hold each diamond firmly in place. For buyers seeking peace of mind the choice of platinum 950 and the conservative engineering of the head reduce the risk of stone loss, and routine maintenance such as annual prong inspections and professional cleaning will sustain the integrity of the mounting for decades.
