It is what is known as a cross-over ring

The surround is a delicate border of circular-cut diamonds platinum settings with millegrain edges

which gives the stone a beautiful interior play of light

The millegrained diamond-set edges soften the clean-cut geometry of the central band to create a versatile and stylish ring that is at once both classic and modern

Complemented by a warm yellow gold mount with traditional scrolled galleries and accented with small antique rose-cut diamonds between each stone

and a truly rare survival of its type

and this charming stone is cut in the traditional oval step cut style

of impressively vivid green hue and good transparency

This particular tourmaline is a striking marine blue with flickers of green at the edges

shown off to great effect by this charming and unusual ring

and in Europe the stone was traditionally believed to offer protection to sailors on their voyages
