Iolite Princess Cut Trillion Ring

If you’ve never heard of iolite, you’re in for a discovery. Sometimes called the “Vikings’ Compass Stone” — ancient Norse explorers used thin slices of iolite to navigate by the sun — this extraordinary gem is prized for its rare optical quality: it shifts between shades of violet-blue, soft blue, and gray depending on the angle of light, a phenomenon known as pleochroism. No two views of this stone are exactly the same.
