From deep within Paraiba, Brazil is a Tourmaline mine that produces the most amazing exotic blue/green/teal neon toumaline. Very rare, and very expensive at easily $5,000 per carat.
Since we can't afford those (and maybe not you either?) we have secured a treated Brazilian Topaz that looks ever so close to the Tourmaline. Really intense color for a fraction of the cost.
These are well cut, and throw beautiful fire. They are hung from 14k Gold threader Earrings, and are set in a form of bezel mounting, that gives you the most show of stone for the least expense in gold, and yet is still a good, well built mounting. |
