The Josephine ring in rose gold, tourmaline and diamonds

One more piece joins the lineage of Maison Lepage's exceptional creations: Joséphine. At the heart of the creation is a 4.47-carat tourmaline in English green, shimmering in the light to reveal delicious golden-yellow reflections... Alongside it, brilliant-cut and baguette-cut diamonds only reinforce the incandescent, lively side of this extremely rare gemstone. A piece of character like the historical figure from whom it borrows its name, Josephine has all the makings of a jewel that will leave its mark on people's minds and even on the decades... On the 18k rose gold setting, with its straight, strong lines and neo-classical inspiration, the stone contemplates itself and deliberately imposes its presence and boldness.

A little history

Josephine was Napoleon's first wife, a multi-talented personality with a passion for many subjects including Art, botany and finance. Avant-garde for her time, Josephine is also known for having shared the most intense and passionate love with Napoleon. Secret, free, independent and fiery, the Joséphine ring has all the makings of a truly exceptional piece... Throughout history, tourmaline stones have turned more than one head. This is particularly true of "The Great Divide", a gem from the Pederneira mine valued at $1.2 million in 2011.

A jeweler's word

A stone enthroned at the heart of the setting and nicknamed "the stone of mixed colors" or "the chameleon of gems", green tourmaline is undoubtedly among the most precious. Indeed, this rare color is particularly sought-after in the world of jewelry. Tourmaline also has a hardness of between 7 and 7.5, making it a particularly prized gem. Finally, this multi-colored stone is also characterized by its almost total absence of impurities. Often mistaken for other stones, tourmaline is anything but common... Succumb to the beauty of Joséphine, a stunning piece for an exceptional woman!
