Rings with a large central colored stone in a frame of diamonds are also known as entourage or cluster rings. Their fashion began in the late 1950s and, despite all the changes in fashion, they are still popular today. Only the details, such as the choice of stones or the arrangement of the gemstones in relation to each other, have changed over the decades. This ring corresponds to this type and sets an intensely green tourmaline weighing 3.70 ct in a sparkling frame of diamonds. High-carat white gold holds the stones securely in place while remaining visually discreet. As the ring band is also increasingly narrower towards the ring face, it looks as if the precious ring face is floating above the finger. We date the ring to around 1980, when entourage rings were being fitted with increasingly larger center stones in clear geometries, with linear frames of diamonds. Ten years earlier, the diamonds often formed plastic clouds around the center stone, which at best could look like cosmic explosions. Here, however, the design has been calmed down, giving the large tourmaline more space to take effect. The ring was created in Italy around 1975 and came to us here in Berlin. We have had an independent appraisal carried out to confirm the quality of the materials used.

Tourmalines surprise with the variety of colors in which this mineral is found. All shades of green, yellow, pink and red, even shades of blue are among the common colors of the tourmaline family. The word tourmaline comes from the Sinhalese "thuramali" (තුරමලි), which referred to colorful gemstones on the island of Ceylon. Major imports of tourmalines from Ceylon to Europe have been recorded since the mid-18th century, with the Dutch East India Company initially holding the sole monopoly on trade.
