Details
A fun, colorful piece to express yourself beautifully set with Paraiba Topaz. An Oval Basket setting lets the Paraiba Topaz do it's thing! The stone weighs a healthy 7carats 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.
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.
The ring itself is bordering on simply too large for many women to wear, but if you can handle a big'un, you're gonna love this! This is a fasinating braided filigree mounting that holds the 14x10mm Mystic Fire in with 10 prongs. What a cool ring! Great, solid, and good for everyday wear, but will do nicely for evening wear if you've a mind to.
We use a special anti-tarnish alloy in our silver casting. This ensures that your jewelry will be bright and shiny even after you've had it for awhile.
