Among the world’s most coveted colored gemstones, Paraiba tourmalines are celebrated for their copper-bearing chemistry—responsible for the unmistakable neon blue‑green radiance that seems lit from within. First discovered in Brazil’s Paraíba region and later found in Mozambique, fine examples remain exceptionally scarce, particularly in impressive sizes.
At the heart of this ring is a natural 16.98ct Paraiba tourmaline, cut in a cushion silhouette to emphasize both presence and color. Its hue is best described as an Intense Copper-Bearing Greenish Blue (Neon Blue-Green), offering a vivid, high-energy saturation that collectors seek when they want a statement gem with true pedigree.
The centerpiece is set in lustrous 18K white gold (12g), surrounded by 212 meticulously placed accent diamonds totaling 1.03ct (GVS). The diamond field is designed to amplify the Paraiba’s electric color while keeping the profile refined—an elegant balance of opulence and precision craftsmanship.
Accompanied by a GIA certificate (Report #1533371347), this ring is not only a showpiece but an heirloom-grade acquisition—an enduring store of beauty and rarity with global recognition and long-term desirability in the fine gemstone market.
