Stunning Vintage Ring With Tourmaline In Gold, Vienna Circa 1960

Did you know that tourmaline occurs in nature in more than a hundred different colours? The origin of its name already refers to its variety of colours: "Tourmaline" is derived from the Sinhalese term "turmali", which means "stone with mixed colors". A particularly impressive specimen of this enchanting gemstone is set in this ring. The large cabochon of about 36.00 ct shines in an intense tone that alternates between green and blue. Fine inclusions inside the tourmaline not only testify to its formation in nature: they also reflect the incoming light and thus additionally enliven the large stone. But the most beautiful thing is the colourfulness of the ring. At times the tourmaline is reminiscent of dense forests and mossy green, then again of cool ice from glaciated heights. The heavy gold of the setting, on the other hand, which frames the tourmaline with a wide, twisted band, glows warmly in the color of the sun. The ring was created in Austria, more precisely, in Vienna, in the years around 1960. Its design is splendid and urban, but its unique colour makes it look suitable for traditional costume outfits as well. An independent expert appraisal has confirmed the quality of this wonderful gemstone. It is of course enclosed with the ring.
