A statement emerald cut warm pink tourmaline (6.36cts) is expertly showcased as the centrepiece of this statement design. Securely double claw set into 18ct yellow gold the central tourmaline is brought to life by a delicate surround of small sparkling brilliants (0.22ct). Angular openwork cross over shoulders perfectly complete the design ensuring that all eyes are drawn towards the central gemstone. This striking design has been inspired by our extensive selection of antique and period jewellery. In particular the strong forms and geometric lines of the famed Art Deco period (1911-1940) can be clearly seen. Tourmaline is only rivalled by sapphire for its natural occurrence in a wide variety of interesting colours. Specific colours have become hugely sought after, which has resulted in eye catching tourmaline examples appearing in the collections of the most famous residents of the Place Vendôme.
