The beautiful Paraiba tourmaline mirrors the turquoise lagoon waters of Tahiti, surrounded with a double row of diamonds set in a halo design. The breathtaking color of the stone is due to the presence of copper and manganese, creating a fluorescence that gives the gemstone unparalleled luminosity. The increasingly scarce gemstones have increased in value greatly, with high demand among collectors and connoisseurs. The ring is lovely worn as a right hand ring for everyday wear or as a gemstone engagement ring. The low-rise ring (7.5mm - 0.29 inches) sits comfortably on the finger.
The ring is in very good condition and was lightly cleaned and polished.
