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 $2,000-$3,000 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.
An Oval Basket setting lets the Paraiba Topaz do it's thing! The stone weighs a healthy 6 carats, and the mounting is what you'd expect to hold such a nice stone. Just look at the pictures at how thick the metal is. |
