Paraiba Topaz, 925 Sterling Silver Antique Style Filigree Ladies Ring,SR009

Discover this stunning Sterling Silver Ring featuring a gorgeous Paraiba Topaz. Back in 1989, a new color of tourmaline was discovered in Paraiba, Brazil— a breathtaking neon blend of blue, green, and teal. This rare gem was once sold for as much as $15,000 per carat, and it was incredibly rare, gorgeous, and intense. Sadly, those natural stones are now very scarce, with only small, heavily occluded pockets remaining in Paraiba, Nigeria, and Madagascar. So what is Paraiba Topaz? To be clear, this topaz is a look-alike of the legendary Paraiba Tourmaline, but it’s a natural stone that’s been enhanced. In the late ‘90s and early 2000s, a California company developed a treatment method—baking a chemical into the skin of the topaz under high heat and pressure—to mimic the rare and expensive Paraiba Tourmaline. Although the stones sometimes turned a bit too green, the brilliant color and market demand persisted. That’s why we use the term "Paraiba" as a unique color descriptor—nothing else truly encapsulates that vivid hue. This stunning stone measures approximately 12x10mm and weighs roughly 6 carats, making it a truly eye-catching centerpiece. The incredible color, flawless cut, and perfect clarity combine to create a ring you'll cherish for years.
