Pink tourmaline ring in argentium sterling silver // U.S. size 6 3/4 // North-south tourmaline ring

An entirely handmade ring. I gave this narrow pink tourmaline cabochon a vertical "north-south" setting. It's little and full of drama! The stone is pink with just a hint of watermelon coloring. The ring is U.S. size 6 3/4. Made by me in my Connecticut studio. I use only argentium sterling silver for my ear wires and the other silver elements in my jewelry. Argentium sterling silver is a hypoallergenic alloy of silver using only recycled silver. It contains more pure silver than ordinary sterling (93.5% or 94%, vs. a minimum of 92% for other sterling). It contains no nickel. It is very durable, and unlike ordinary sterling silver, it is tarnish-resistant. Tourmaline is a birthstone for October.
