We strive to offer the most coveted gems on the market. Our dealers agree one stone stands above the rest: Paraiba tourmaline. Often described as the color of a tropical sea, Paraiba tourmalines are admired for their electric-blue hue. First discovered in Brazil’s São José da Batalha in the 1980s, the nearly exhausted mines have sent their value soaring. Their luminous glow and stunning colors — neon blue to turquoise and emerald green — come from copper. Among the world’s most beautiful gemstones, their price per carat can reach five figures. Here, we feature an extraordinary 3-carat Brazilian Paraiba tourmaline set in 18k gold — a collector’s dream.
