The "Siberian ruby" is one of the many names for the red variety of tourmaline, also known as rubellite. Until the 1920s, the majority of rubellites suitable for jewelry production came from the Urals**,** and the closer the color of these gemstones resembled that of ruby, the more valuable the gemstone was. No wonder, then, that in earlier times the names of the gemstones were easily confused: The best-known rubellite is called "The Great Ruby". This is a stone weighing around 260 carats, which King Gustav III of Sweden gave to Catherine the Great of Russia in 1786. This ring sets a rubellite in the pink-red color of the best rubies. The stone is framed by a brilliant-cut diamond, each of which is set between the rubellite and the ring band. The ring and the settings for the gemstones are made from high-carat white gold. The ring, which was created around 2000, is in first-class condition and comes with an independent gemological certificate.
