The Ultimate Guide to Paraiba Tourmaline Jewelry

My Journey with Paraiba Tourmaline

As a jewelry designer, I've fallen in love with a gemstone that's unlike any other. Paraiba tourmaline isn't just a stone – it's a breathtaking experience. Its electric blue-green hues capture the essence of the ocean and sky, creating a color so vibrant it seems almost impossible.

 

The Incredible Story Behind Paraiba Tourmaline

 

In the late 1980s, Brazilian miner Heitor Barbosa made a discovery that would change the gem world forever. After years of searching, he unearthed a stone with an unprecedented neon-like color. What makes it truly special? Its extraordinary rarity.

Consider this: for every 10,000 diamonds mined, only one Paraiba tourmaline is discovered. The stone's signature color comes from traces of copper, creating a luminescence that's impossible to replicate.

 

My Signature Paraiba Tourmaline Jewelry Collections

 

When I design Paraiba pieces, I use each gemstone as my muse:

 

  • Rings: Stunning statement pieces that showcase the Paraiba’s special hue

  • Drop Earrings: Framing the face with a burst of vibrant Paraiba color

  • Necklaces: Complementing every neckline with Paraiba’s magical facets

  • Bracelets: Adding a touch of Paraiba glow to your wrist

Quality Matters: What Makes a Paraiba Tourmaline Exceptional

 

As a designer, I'm meticulous about selection:

 

  1. Color: The most prized stones feature an intense, neon blue

  2. Clarity: Eye-clean stones are most valuable

  3. Cut: Oval, pear, and cushion cuts maximize light interaction

  4. Rarity determines price: Prices can range from $10,000 to $100,000 per carat
