Paraiba Topaz, 10KY Gold Ring, R021

Experience the vibrant allure of our 10K Yellow Gold Paraiba Topaz ring! Back in 1989, a stunning new color of tourmaline was discovered in Paraiba, Brazil—a breathtaking neon blue/green/teal that captured the hearts of gem lovers everywhere. This rare gem was sold for as much as $15,000 per carat due to its intensity and beauty. While small pockets of this color are still being mined in Paraiba, Nigeria, and Madagascar, these stones are often heavily occluded and incredibly expensive. So, what is Paraiba Topaz? It’s important to clarify that this topaz is simply a look-alike of the Paraiba Tourmaline. It is natural in that it was mined from the ground but has been enhanced. In the late '90s and early 2000s, an innovative small company in California developed a method to treat topaz, allowing it to resemble London Blue Topaz without the costly processes. They baked a chemical into the skin of the topaz using extremely high heat and pressure. Initially, the results appeared too green, but one bright individual noticed the resemblance to Paraiba Tourmaline, leading to the creation of a market for what we now refer to as Paraiba Topaz. This term serves as a unique color descriptor that perfectly captures the essence of the natural Tourmaline. This ring features a truly cool color that is unlike anything else. The elegant design showcases the vibrant Paraiba Topaz, complemented by two sparkling Cubic Zirconia (CZ) stones mounted on either side. The smooth flowing lines enhance its sophisticated design, making it perfect for a night out on the town or any special occasion.
