Product Description
This Diaspore is over 19 carats and thoroughly saturated. We designed a setting of solid 18K yellow gold with 12 large champagne diamonds (6 on each side). The champagne diamonds on the band are each approximately .18 carats for a total of 2.16 carats of diamonds. We added white diamonds underneath the stone along the basket.
One of the ring photos was taken in natural daylight (gemstone is green), while the other photo was taken with incandescent lighting and the gemstone changed to a reddish salmon color.
*There is a 'phantom' inclusion (a desirable attribute) in this gemstone. This inclusion is a tiny rainbow.

What exactly is a "Diaspore”? If you are familiar with Alexandrite, you are aware of color-changing gemstones. Depending upon whether the light source is incandescent, fluorescent, halogen, direct sunlight, etc. changes the color of the gemstone. In the gem trade, color change is a rarity in and of itself. Alexandrite, East African Color Change Garnet and some rare Sapphires are all color change gemstones and we rarely see them. All of these gemstones are rare - they are true color changing - not color shifting. Diaspore, which is mined in only one place; the Anatolia region of Turkey and is truly an exotic gemstone that you will treasure forever.
