Pink sugarloaf tourmaline ring in argentium sterling silver

This ring features a "sugarloaf" tourmaline cabochon--appropriate for a stone that reminds me of Jolly Ranchers! The pyramid shape is called a sugarloaf due to its resemblance to the shape that sugar was sold in hundreds of years ago. It's an ancient cut and the perfect complement to this gemstone's saturated pink-purple color. The ring is U.S. size 7.

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.
