This one has me thinking of my grandfather's grape vine and the rich juicy grapes that change from green to the softest pinky purple as they ripened. This juicy tourmaline is bright and plump and just the most beautiful bright natural gemstone.
The soft subtle purple pinks look so warm and sweet set in this rich rose gold. The heavy 1940s setting with its lovely fluted shoulders and high claws make this a stunning piece to look at. Hallmarked 14k this is likely an American piece.
