Paraiba tourmaline is famed for a color phenomenon found in very few gemstones: a copper-bearing, neon blue-green radiance that appears lit from within. First discovered in Brazil’s Paraíba region and later in Mozambique, fine examples have become a cornerstone of serious gem collections for their scarcity, saturation, and unmistakable presence.
At the heart of this necklace is a natural 26.46-carat Paraiba tourmaline, cut in an elegant oval to maximize its vivid neon blue-green (copper-bearing) color. Its expansive face-up size and luminous hue create a true statement centerpiece—bold yet refined, designed to be recognized instantly.
Crafted in 18K gold (21.2g), the setting is meticulously finished and framed by 368 accent diamonds totaling 3.59 carats in GVS quality. The diamond surround adds crisp scintillation and architectural definition, amplifying the Paraiba’s glow while maintaining a couture-level balance and wearability.
This piece is offered without a grading certificate, allowing the gemstone and workmanship to speak for themselves. As a high-carat Paraiba tourmaline necklace—an increasingly difficult category to source—this jewel is positioned as an heirloom acquisition and a compelling long-term addition to a connoisseur’s fine jewelry wardrobe.
