Est. $134,000-$135,000 20.00ct Copper Bearing Tourmaline, 1.50ctw VS1-VS2/G-H Diamond & Solid 18K White Gold Ring (Comes W/$134,000 Appraisal) - This stunning ring was finely crafted of solid 18k white gold and boasts a 20.00ct (approximate) genuine oval cut copper bearing (Paraiba type) tourmaline which displays a lively, vivid icy blue color that is truly stunning. Paraiba tourmaline is one of the rarest stones in the world, and gems of this size and quality are becoming increasingly hard to find in today's market. These gorgeous gemstones are only found in copper rich areas such as Brazil, Nigeria and Mozambique, and mining these stones is difficult and mostly done by hand. Copper Bearing "Paraiba Type" tourmaline displays a stunning, vivid blue green color due to the presence of copper, making this particular color of tourmaline one of the most sought after by gem collectors, as they appear to have a stunning neon-like glow even in low lighting conditions. The ring is also embellished with approximately 1.50ctw genuine VS1-VS2/G-H round cut diamonds creating a 2-tiered halo setting around the tourmaline and lining the shoulders, finishing the piece beautifully. The table of the ring measures 24mm x 18.5mm and the band measures 3mm wide. Ring size: 6.5 (WEIGHT: 13.2 grams) Please note: This piece will come with a $134,000 insurance valuation report in the winning bidder's name by a graduate appraiser.
