Hi All!
I have a few questions--
I was in a jewelry store in VA on vacation and I saw the most gorgeous ring that had seven green tourmalines in a white gold setting. The green color was a deep emerald type of hue--I believe it is called chrome tourmaline? I''m not sure. It was a stair step type of design with a large tourmaline in the middle with the tourmalines getting smaller as the steps went down. Well, of course the ring was way too expensive for me to buy, but the jeweler let me take a photo of it so I could remember what it looked like. I also didn''t want to attempt to talk him down on the price because I have no knowledge of tourmalines and wouldn''t know how to estimate the actual worth of the ring.
I have my heart set on having a ring like that some day. My questions are:
How expensive is green tourmaline? If I were wanting to speak to someone who could design the ring for me, would that be much cheaper? If so, who are some reputable designers to speak with? I''m fairly clueless in the jewelry market, so your help would be great!
