3.16 Ct. Rubellite Tourmaline from Mozambique

The 3.16 carat pinkish red rubellite tourmaline offered by The Natural Gemstone Company is an exquisite example of gemstone artistry and precision. With its distinctive asscher cut, this tourmaline boasts an intricate arrangement of parallel facets that accentuate its natural brilliance, creating a mesmerizing play of light and color. The cut, precision engineered at 8.84 x 8.59 x 5.76 mm, showcases the stone’s depth and clarity beautifully. The very slightly included clarity grade ensures that there are no significant obstructions to the stone’s beauty when viewed at eye level, allowing for an optimum appreciation of its internal elegance.

The intense color intensity of this rubellite is a defining characteristic, setting it apart as a rare and desirable gemstone. Exhibiting a captivating pinkish red hue, the rubellite's color saturation is vivid and dynamic, enhancing its visual appeal considerably. Sourced from Mozambique, a location renowned for producing tourmalines with rich color profiles, this stone reflects the region’s prized mineralogical treasures. The excellent polish applied to the gemstone further complements its inherent qualities, providing a smooth, lustrous surface that ensures maximum reflection and an uninterrupted viewing experience.

When considering pairing this rubellite tourmaline with complementary gemstones in a custom jewelry piece, one might think of coupling it with diamonds or white sapphires. The scintillating clarity of diamonds could accentuate the vibrancy of the tourmaline, offering a striking contrast that highlights its deep pinkish red tones. Additionally, white sapphires may serve as an excellent alternative, providing a harmonious blend that complements rather than competes with the rubellite’s color intensity. For a bolder palette, contrasting gemstones such as emeralds or blue sapphires can introduce an intriguing interplay of hues, emphasizing the uniqueness of each stone while maintaining a cohesive design narrative.

The craftsmanship involved in creating a custom piece with this gemstone offers numerous possibilities. Expert jewelers from The Natural Gemstone Company can design settings that both protect and enhance the octagon shape of the tourmaline, whether through a classic bezel setting that emphasizes its geometry or prong settings that allow light to pass through its many facets unhindered. Consider a platinum band that accentuates the cooling undertones of the rubellite for modern sophistication, or a yellow gold setting that brings warmth and complements the stone's rich color. With each design choice carefully considered, the end result is a piece of timeless elegance, tailor-made to meet the exquisite tastes of a discerning buyer.
