2.96 Vintage Elongated Cushion Tourmaline 14k

This Art Deco-era cocktail ring holds a 2.96 carat elongated cushion cut tourmaline in a four-prong basket with double claw-style prongs, set in 14 karat yellow gold.

The tourmaline shows blue-green color, a sought-after hue in this gemstone that falls somewhere between pure blue and pure green depending on the lighting.

The elongated cushion cut has rounded corners and a rectangular shape that maximizes the stone's size on the finger while creating softer, chunkier flashes of color compared to brilliant cuts.

Original hand engravings from detail the shoulders, providing authentic period ornamentation that can't be replicated by modern manufacturing. The ring is dated on the interior to 1936.
