Masterpiece Snowstorm Paraiba Tourmaline and Diamond Ring 5.29ct in Platinum

A captivating platinum, diamond and Paraiba tourmaline Snowstorm cocktail ring. An electric cushion cut 5.29ct Paraiba tourmaline radiates with the neon blue/green colours of the Atlantic lapping the sands of the Copacabana. This exceptional gemstone has been secured by four expertly hand shaped talon claws, and attracts as the undoubted centrepiece of this ring. A shield shaped surround completes the design, and has been expertly snow set with 1.46ct of sparkling brilliants. A black enamel finish has been applied to highlight this true marvel of gem setting skill. Paraiba tourmalines are relatively new to the gemstone world having first been discovered in Brazil during the 1980s. Their unique neon colour caused examples to become hugely sought after, and with the original Brazilian mines now largely exhausted, further smaller deposits have been found in Nigeria and Mozambique. Snow setting is a intricate technique and relatively recent introduction to Pragnell. Creating a truly mesmerising spectacle sparkling brilliants of different sizes are individually positioned by the skilled gem setter to ensure as little metal as possible remains visible between the stones. Once completed the surface resembles a fierce snow storm with perfect flakes of different sizes filling the air. Completed entirely individually by a single expert gem setter each snowstorm piece is a truly unique wonder that is sure to delight.
