14K Gold Tourmaline Checkerboard Ring

14K Gold Red Tourmaline Ring A hand-crafted 14k yellow gold ring featuring a natural red tourmaline with a checkerboard cut, set in an organically textured bezel. A natural tourmaline identified as a rubellite known for its rich, saturated red to pink-red hues. Unlike treated stones, rubellite derives its color naturally from manganese content within the crystal structure, giving it that vivid raspberry-to-magenta glow that shifts subtly under different light. Rubellite is one of the rarest and most valuable members of the tourmaline. It’s prized for its combination of high brilliance, durability, and depth of color rivaling fine ruby, yet with unique undertones that make each stone one-of-a-kind. When viewed under light, this stone shows classic pleochroism, displaying both deep red and fuchsia-pink tones depending on the angle.
