Est. $25,000-$26,000 17.00ct Pear-Cut Rubellite & Solid 18K White Gold Ring W/0.50ctw VS1-VS2/G-H Diamond Accents (W/$26,000 Appraisal) - This beautiful ring is made of solid 18k white gold, and boasts a gorgeous 17.00ct (approximate) pear-cut rubellite. The ring has an ornate setting with a pierced undercarriage, split shoulders and curled prongs. The ring is finished with approx. 0.50ctw genuine VS1-VS2/G-H brilliant round-cut diamonds, which line the split shoulders of the ring and also decorate the curled prongs. This piece has excellent investment potential, as rubellite is one of the most popular gems on the market today, and this particular rubellite is a stunning deep red-violet color. Rubellites of this size are becoming harder and harder to come by, and when you can find them, they are usually grainy and heavily included. This rubellite is a massive 17 carats, and could retail alone for approx. $1500 or more per carat. These types of tourmalines can usually only be found in upper-end or collector's markets. The table of the ring measures approx. 19mm x 18.5mm. Ring size: 6.75 (WEIGHT: 9.5 grams) Please note: This piece will come with a $26,000 appraisal by a graduate appraiser in the winning bidder's name for insurance purposes.
