[QUOTE="tie.dye.cat, post: 7782983, member: 152"]First off, I know zip, zilch, nada, zero about tourmaline so I don't know how far fetched it is that this could be it. The top of the ring looks goldfilled possibly, and the bottom appears brassy in person. I only came across tourmaline as I did a reverse image search on the ring. The one thing I know about it is that it's a very hard rock - there is a small nick in the top of the stone, and it does scratch glass. I realize that there's two pearls missing - have one that fell off enroute, and I'll have to dig up another one. edit: I don't have a stone tester unfortunately...and I looked with a loupe and I don't see any bubbles at all Thanks for opinions!
