A striking vintage ring crafted in rich 18K yellow gold and centered with an approximately 0.40 carat green tourmaline cabochon. The smooth oval stone displays a deep green color that contrasts beautifully against the warmth of the yellow gold.
The tourmaline is surrounded by a bold, sculptural gold setting with broad shoulders that sweep outward from the center stone before tapering into the shank. The substantial proportions of the setting give the ring a much stronger presence on the hand than its carat weight might suggest.
The smooth cabochon and polished gold work beautifully together, with the simple gemstone shape allowing the unusual construction of the setting to become an important part of the design. It is a wonderfully distinctive late 20th-century ring with a clean, confident look rather than a delicate one.
