This is a phenomenal 5.44 carat Tanzanite and Diamond, 14K Gold Ring with an incredibly rare, genuine AAA quality. Tanzanite is a very rare precious gemstone that is only found in the Usumburu Mountains that border the Umba Valley of northern Tanzania. It was originally discovered in 1967 by Tiffany & Company, who named the stone Tanzanite. This example is unique due to its exceptional pleochroism (an optical phenomenon in which a stone has different colors when observed at different angles). The ring is from renowned designer, Orianne Collins, and is marked, "ORIANNE 14K". The solid 14 karat white gold ring features a fantastic cushion modified brilliant cut and brilliant cut crown Tanzanite stone with a total weight of 5.44 carats and AAA to AA quality/clarity and beautiful, transparent eye clean finish, rich Violet Blue color, and rare pleochroism, giving different changes of colors when moved. The ring, which is a custom luxury solid white gold setting, shows the center, large stone being prong set and surrounded by a halo bezel that is diamond set and supported by a lattice under gallery and diamond set split shoulder. Overall, the ring is set with 66 prong set round brilliant, natural Diamonds with a total weight of 0.81 carats, SI1 to SI2 clarity, and H-I color. The piece comes with an AIGL (American International Gemological Laboratories, INC. AIGL#: K63E95-EA12432) report and appraisal, which values the ring at $17,910.00. The ring shows a size of 7 US.
