I hope you understand how much jewelry I look at before deciding what's worth showing you. Some of it I pin, some of it I post to Tumblr, but most of it I just turn down. Which means that anything I put on here is something I think is special - but some things, at the risk of sounding silly, are especially special.
This 18k white gold ring was made in 1880. That beautiful center stone is a natural green tourmaline. Isn't it beautiful? I think that shade of green is stunning.
The other most noticible feature of this ring is, of course, the filigree. Look how ornate that is - I can't help but wonder how much time the jeweler spent designing each whirl and tendril before beginning to forge the final piece. It's so intricate and flows so perfectly.
This ring is currently for sale at Fourtane, listing available via 1stdibs. Thanks to Fourtane and 1stdibs for the images and info.
