Details
OK, so just what IS Paraiba Topaz? Well, it is a natural Topaz, mined in Brazil that has been treated to emulate a special Tourmaline mined in the state of Paraiba, Brazil. That unique Tourmaline is very rare and very expensive -- currently costing around $2-3,000/carat for stones of this size.
Which brings us to THIS stone, the Paraiba Topaz, aptly named because it's color so closely matched the original Tourmaline. A Blue/Green Teal sort of color, somewhat like an Apatite -- this stone is well cut, and throws really cool Paraiba color.
We've also started using a special Sterling Silver alloy in our silver jewelry that is very tarnish resistant. This keeps your jewelry shiny for a long time to come.
