A timeless ring begins with a gemstone whose beauty will still feel special years from now. This 3.48-carat open teal blue green tourmaline gemstone brings together vivid natural-looking color, excellent clarity, strong life and a well-balanced cut in a size that translates beautifully to the hand. The open teal blue green color is a major part of its appeal: it is bright enough to remain expressive in a mounting and gives the tourmaline a distinctive personality rather than a generic, mass-market look. It also offers eye-clean clarity, excellent life, strong luster, bright face-up performance, helping the gemstone stay lively and attractive once it is set into a ring. The Asscher-style octagonal geometry gives the gemstone crisp visual balance and a sophisticated architectural look that works beautifully in a timeless ring. At approximately 9.9 x 7.8 mm, the proportions give the gemstone a pleasing face-up footprint for a center-stone ring. Its calibrated or near-calibrated dimensions are also practical when choosing or creating a well-fitted setting. The grading details reinforce the visual impression: Very Good make and Very Good symmetry help the outline and facet pattern look balanced, an especially important quality in a gemstone intended to sit prominently at the center of a ring. Tourmaline is especially compelling because of its remarkable natural color range; the blue-green and teal shades in this group give a ring individuality that is difficult to duplicate. The listed treatment is heat, disclosed so you can evaluate the gemstone with full information while focusing on its color, cut, clarity and beauty. At $2,694, for a ring purchase, this balance of color, face-up size, symmetry and brilliance is exactly what can make a gemstone look far more impressive than its price alone would suggest. Its natural gemstone character also means no two stones are exactly alike; the individual color, internal character and cutting give your finished tourmaline ring an identity that a mass-produced synthetic look cannot duplicate. AfricaGems has specialized in colored gemstones for more than 40 years, and this gemstone was hand selected for the qualities that matter in a finished ring: color, cut, brilliance, proportions, symmetry and overall beauty. Our experienced team also provides fantastic, personal customer service before and after the sale. Most importantly, you can inspect the gemstone for 30 days; if it is not right for your ring, AfricaGems provides free return shipping and a full refund. That superior return policy lets you evaluate an important center stone in person with confidence.
