Brown Tourmaline Ring

Size 15 ring, entirely handmade in high-purity 950 silver. The faceted tourmaline crystal in this simple and delicate ring displays a beautiful orange-brown hue. The 4mm stone is held in place by a silver band that secures it around its entire perimeter, helping to intensify its color.

The elements that give tourmalines their green hue are vanadium, chromium, or iron. The greatest admirer of tourmalines was Empress Dowager Cixi, who ruled China from 1860 to 1908. The Empress used the stone in carvings, on watch chain clasps, and on the buttons of jackets worn by the Imperial Court.
