Nila | Green Tourmaline & Lab Grown Diamond Ring | 9ct Yellow Gold

A pear-cut green tourmaline set beside a round lab grown diamond, floating on an open multi-band of fine yellow gold wires.

The two stones sit side by side rather than one above the other, the deep green pear turned on its side next to a bright white diamond. Underneath them, several gold bands run parallel and cross over, so the ring looks light and open on the finger with the stones seeming to hover between the wires. It's a modern, quietly unusual design, and the forest-green tourmaline against warm gold gives it a rich, earthy feel.

About green tourmaline

Tourmaline comes in a wider range of colours than almost any other gemstone, and the green variety runs from soft olive to deep forest. It's a clear, hard stone that takes a bright polish and wears well day to day. Every one is a little different in tone, which is part of the appeal.

Hardness: 7–7.5 on the Mohs scale
Birthstone: October
