We bring to you a stunning ring set with a 3.65 ct natural Goshenite (Colourless beryl, aka white emerald) from the famous mines of Shigar, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. The quality of the Goshenite is also of the top grade which makes this inclusion and ring even more special. The stone was acquired by us directly from the mines in rough, and we formed the stone into this beautiful faceted stone. We kept the stone in a vault for many years and recently set it into a ring, but under closer examination we where surprised to find a rare inclusion. RARE INCLUSION - Thin-film fluid inclusions in this goshenite display a spectral hue play of colour iridescent interference colours under magnification under the correct angles, a rare phenomena. But to have it perfectly under the table and crown is beautiful as it is set into a ring the phenomena can be observed even with the naked eye close up but better under magnification. A true gemstone for a connoisseur of gemology or rare origin stones with rare inclusions. Here is a GIA micro world article on thin film inclusions but inside an aquamarine from another location (the blue variety of beryl) https://www.gia.edu/gems-gemology/spring-2021-microworld-thin-film-fluid-inclusions-in-aquamarine This stone is 100% natural. It has formed inside the famous pegmatites of the Shigar region, famed for producing world class gemstones. Not many people know this but the people of Pakistan have always been pioneers and connoisseurs of Gemstones from the Indus Valley Civilizations to Gandharan to other rich civilizations. In fact the most important Mughal ruler who was seen as a great lover of Gemstones, Shah Jahan was born in Lahore, which is now in Pakistan. Royal Karhanas in these cities across these lands produced elaborate jewellery and manufactured stones into beautiful works of art. Many of our ancestors are from these same civilizations. An example of such rich gemstone treasures was the royal Lahore court from which many thousands of very important gemstones, from the Kohinoor diamond to historically significant spinel's, emeralds of great wealth was stored manufactured and then later taken by the British. Yet this history is almost forgotten and simply labelled "Indian", but this is our history. When you acquire this piece of jewellery you are becoming apart of that long history, you support the miner communities that rely on these stones for their source of food. Not only that but this piece is something that you can pass on to your children for them to cherish. This stone also has a good size to it and cut, the ring is left without black lacquer so the goshenite speaks for itself, since silver is the most reflective metal it is very shiny where the metal has been engraved. The ring was made by our own family craftsmen that have been jewellers since 1875. Engraved fully by hand inspired by the rich heritage and culture of our ancestors, the Mughals, Persian influence, nature and older civilisations of these rich lands. In islam men are forbidden to wear gold, silver is highly important as it is seen as a metal that is not only pure but sunnah (worn by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)), Silver is a very important metal in our culture. That is why many rings with precious stones are set into silver for men, and is why we have set this natural goshenite into silver. Cut style - round mixed cut.
