I think about this ring in a different way than just about any ring we make. The design is fashioned after the engagement ring Diana wore. The engagement ring was then handed down to their son William, who gave it to Kate when they became engaged. It is a ring made for a future King and Queen.
If a ring was specially made for a future King and Queen, one might presume a lot of time, effort, and energy went into thinking about its design. We are going to reveal the key element of the magic of this design. It’s the number 14. We make this ring with various size oval center gems, but always put 14 diamonds around the center. Fourteen frames the center perfectly. We will admit to the genius of the Royal jewelers. When you decide, and when this ring arrives, you will take one look and agree.
Rare
Will and Kate
Pink Maine Tourmaline Diamond Ring
This is a beautiful ring. The pink tourmaline is pure. It’s superbly cut. It’s brilliant in all the right ways. Then we’ve framed it like a work of art in diamonds. It is a work of art, 200 million years in the making. I envy the family that will welcome this ring into their home and hope they will cherish it for the next 200 years.
Why We Love This Ring
Simplicity. A big oval pink Maine tourmaline, a rare color, framed with 14 diamonds, It’s an easy ring to look at and easy to wear.
Will & Kate
Pink Maine Tourmaline
& Diamond Ring
Imagine you are newly engaged. You’ve just received a ring set with a big beautiful gem. Everyone will notice. They can’t help but notice. The world is watching. You are to become a princess, and someday you will be Queen.
Following Will and Kate’s engagement in 2010, we studied the ring Prince William gave to Kate Middleton, taking detailed measurements from dozens of photographs. You have to assume the Royal Jeweler chosen by the House of Windsor knows a thing or two about jewelry design. Their jewelers understand balance and harmony while creating important and often large impressive pieces.
The most obvious point of note from our analysis of this royal ring is the fourteen diamonds that surround the center gem. Fourteen is the perfect number to frame, present, and display without taking away or upstaging the purity of color in the center. Jewelers to the royal family understand there is a special magic to the principle of fourteen, especially when the whole world is watching.
Here, we have a superb 1.82-carat pink Maine tourmaline surrounded with fourteen brilliant white diamonds. This is an exquisite piece of jewelry that is sure to become a treasured family heirloom.
Maine Tourmaline, A Maine Story
An American Gem
First discovered in 1820 and in subsequent finds over the years, these early discoveries put Maine on the world map as a source of high-quality tourmaline gems. A major discovery in 1972 on Plumbago Mountain in Newry, Maine, established Maine as a significant world source of fine tourmaline gemstones.
Cross recognized the historical significance of this find early on and began working closely with the miners of these magnificent gems. The close partnership continues today with ongoing discoveries in Maine’s western mountains.
It was the discovery of pink tourmaline in 1972 that made the world sit up and take notice of this new find of gems in Maine’s western mountains. For thirty years, gem cutters all over the world luxuriated in an abundance of exquisite pink Maine tourmaline. In the last 10 years, as we approached the 50-year mark, the availability of pink Maine tourmaline has dropped off. This gem was recently cut. This size and color of Maine tourmaline is exceedingly rare. If you like this ring, don’t wait. We have just one.
100% Natural
We go to Maine’s gem mines. We know the miners. We know the gem cutters. We guarantee our tourmaline to be from Maine and is 100% natural. Cross maintains the largest collection of fine Maine tourmaline jewelry in the world.
Window of Opportunity
Fifty years have passed since the major 1972 tourmaline discovery in Newry, Maine, where they found 3.5 million carats of tourmaline crystals. Over the years, we bought more than we sold, knowing that gem finds don’t last forever. There are now colors, sizes, and shapes that are extremely rare and, in some cases, no longer available. If you see something you love, it’s best to act quickly. There’s no guarantee that another gem like this one exists.
Gem finds are rare, especially in North America. Maine tourmaline is a piece of Maine and American history. It’s a connection to a place we all love, an exquisite creation of nature. Today, there is this rare opportunity to own a bit of Maine/American pride, heritage, and history in choosing a piece of Maine tourmaline jewelry.
