Not a big red gem fan (I love the raspberries), but this simple vintage red spinel ring in platinum is a stummer (EraGem)
Charoite Ring - Charoite is a rare mineral discovered in 1978 in Russia. Its coloration is translucent lavender to purple with a pearly lustre, and sometimes it is chatoyant (has a cat’s eye effect).
Two indicolite tourmaline rings.
The first ring features a 5 carat tear-drop stone set in 14k white gold with almost a carat of diamonds. Below that is an oval indicolite of more than 7 1/2 carats with a third of a carat of diamonds, also set in 14k white gold. The color blue of indicolite is absolutely stunning; I would love to add this stone to my collection.
