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 8mm round's well cut, and throw beautiful fire. They are set in 14k Gold wraptight or cinchmount mountings, that give you the most show of stone for the least expense in gold, and yet is still a good, well built mounting. |
