Andalusite & Diamond Ring, 1.63-Carats

Radiant and richly dimensional, this striking 14K white gold ring centers a rare 1.63-carat bar-faceted andalusite. A gem celebrated for its remarkable ability to display shifting tones of olive green, warm amber, and chestnut as the light moves across its surface. This chameleon-like phenomenon, known as pleochroism, makes andalusite a most intriguing gemstone, and this example is especially vibrant.

Surrounding the center stone is a sophisticated diamond halo composed of six tapered baguettes and ten marquise-cut diamonds. The geometric sparkle of the baguettes contrasts beautifully with the graceful points of the marquise diamonds, creating a dynamic sunburst effect that enhances the gemstone’s changing hues. The polished white gold setting provides a clean, modern frame, lending additional brightness and refinement to the design.

Elegant and uncommon, this late-20th-century ring combines unique color, unusual faceting, and a lively assortment of diamond cuts, making it a standout piece for anyone who appreciates gems with character and artistry.

This ring is currently a size 5 and is sizable to your needs.
