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 stones are set into a traditional basket setting, hanging from a leverback earring.  Notice the thickness of the gold in the mounting.  These are substantial, without being weighty.  I like my stones well protected, and I assume you do too!

This is a good stable setting that won't set you back a month just to get a pair.  There's no reason why this stone shouldn't last you for years, and dazzle every day of it.
