A truly exceptional one-of-a-kind jewel centered around a substantial 20.50 carat natural rubellite tourmaline from Brazil.
This remarkable oval cabochon displays a rich, saturated purplish-red color with beautiful depth and natural internal character. At over 20 carats, the gemstone has an extraordinary presence on the hand and is the centerpiece around which the entire ring was created.
The rubellite was sourced by our family approximately 15 years ago and later handcrafted into this statement ring together with our family jeweler.
This is not a mass-produced ring and there is no second identical stone.
You will receive the exact 20.50 ct natural rubellite shown in the photographs.
THE GEMSTONE IS THE CENTERPIECE
This listing is first and foremost for a significant natural colored gemstone.
Large rubellite tourmalines of this size are increasingly difficult to replace with comparable color, character and presence.
Rather than designing around a commercially calibrated gemstone, this ring was created specifically around this individual 20.50 ct Brazilian rubellite.
For collectors who prefer a precious-metal setting appropriate for long-term heirloom ownership, we also offer the option to professionally remake the ring in 18K solid gold using this exact gemstone.

ABOUT RUBELLITE TOURMALINE
Rubellite is the name traditionally used for richly saturated red, pinkish-red and purplish-red tourmaline.
Unlike pale pink tourmaline, rubellite is prized for its stronger red coloration and its ability to retain attractive color under different lighting conditions.
Fine natural rubellite can vary dramatically from stone to stone, which is why exceptional large examples are evaluated individually rather than simply by carat weight.
At 20.50 carats, this cabochon has an impressive scale that is immediately noticeable when worn.
COLOR & CHARACTER
The gemstone displays a deep purplish-red to vivid raspberry-red appearance depending on the lighting.
In strong natural sunlight, the stone can appear brighter and more vivid.
Under softer indoor lighting, it may show a deeper wine-red or purplish-red tone.
These natural color shifts are part of the beauty of colored gemstones.
We photograph our one-of-a-kind pieces under multiple lighting conditions whenever possible so you can understand the gemstone more accurately before purchasing.
PROVENANCE
This rubellite was sourced by our family approximately 15 years ago.
The ring was subsequently created together with our family jeweler and has remained an individual jewel rather than becoming part of a mass-produced collection.
Its substantial gemstone weight, history and singular appearance make it particularly suited to a serious colored-gemstone collection.
CERTIFICATE
A gemstone certificate accompanies this ring.
We encourage clients purchasing significant one-of-a-kind gemstones to review all photographs, videos and available documentation before purchasing.
Please feel free to contact us if you would like additional photographs or information from the gemstone certificate.
PHOTOGRAPHY
The photographs and videos show the actual gemstone offered in this listing.
Because natural colored gemstones interact strongly with light, the rubellite may appear brighter, darker, redder or more purple depending on the light source, camera exposure and individual screen.
We intentionally include photographs taken in different lighting conditions rather than presenting the gemstone under only one controlled studio light.
RING SIZE
Current Ring Size: US 7
For the existing sterling-silver ring, please contact us before purchasing if resizing is needed.
For the 18K solid-gold version, the ring can be handcrafted in your requested size.
CARE
Tourmaline is suitable for fine jewelry but should still be treated with care.
For cleaning, we recommend:
• Lukewarm water
• Mild soap
• Soft lint-free cloth
• Very soft jewelry brush when necessary
Avoid:
• Ultrasonic cleaners
• Steam cleaners
• Harsh chemicals
• Chlorine
• Strong alcohol-based cleaners
• Sudden temperature changes
Store the ring separately from other jewelry to protect both the gemstone and metal surface.
PACKAGING
Your ring will arrive carefully presented in BOÎTE LAQUE jewelry packaging and securely prepared for shipment.
High-value orders will be shipped with appropriate tracking and insurance.
PLEASE NOTE
This is a one-of-a-kind natural gemstone.
Please review all photographs, videos, gemstone details, ring measurements and metal selections carefully before purchasing.
The 18K solid-gold option is individually handcrafted and is considered a customized order.
Please contact us before purchasing if you would like additional gemstone photographs, certificate information, resizing assistance or information regarding the 18K solid-gold upgrade.
