Pink Tourmaline Wide Band Ring in Sterling Silver

This ring is built around one of my heavily textured sterling silver bands, with an irregular surface of individually applied silver details that creates a different pattern every time I make one. The finished band is oxidized to deepen the recesses before the raised silver is polished back to brightness, giving it the weathered, aged character I love. The band tapers considerably toward the back for a more comfortable fit.

At the center is a beautiful rose cut pink tourmaline with wonderful clarity and broad facets that catch the light across its surface. I held onto this stone for quite a while because finding clean rose cut pink tourmaline like this isn't always easy. Its color shifts with the light, ranging from a softer pink to a richer rose. Please refer to the video for the most accurate depiction of the color. Pink tourmaline is difficult to photograph true to color, and the still photos tend to show a darker, more intense pink than you'll see in person.

Metaphysically, pink tourmaline is traditionally associated with love, compassion, emotional balance and openness of the heart.
