Paraiba Topaz, 925 Sterling Silver Pendant, SP022

Paraiba Topaz—neon teal fire with a story to tell. Back in 1989, a new color of tourmaline was discovered in Paraiba, Brazil—neon blue-green-teal, breathtaking and rare. Sold for up to $5,000 per carat, it was intense, gorgeous… and now, pretty much gone. Paraiba Topaz isn’t that tourmaline—but it’s the closest thing you’ll find. The topaz is natural, mined from the ground, and enhanced with a proprietary treatment that bakes color into the surface under extreme heat and pressure. Originally meant to mimic London Blue, the stones came out too green. One bright soul saw the resemblance to Paraiba Tourmaline—and a new market was born. That process was sold, resold, and eventually pulled from the market. Before it vanished, we bought $20,000 worth of inventory. And now? We’re one of the few who still have it. This 12x10mm beauty weighs in around 6 carats and is set into a sturdy 4-prong basket. Accented with a 1/10th carat CZ at the bail, and mounted in a thick, solid structure that’s built to last. (Your daughter will love it when she inherits this from you.) Color may vary slightly—some lean greener, some bluer. If you have a strong preference, let us know in the checkout comments and shoot us an email too. We’ll do our best to match. Very pretty. Crafted in solid .925 Sterling Silver, specially alloyed to be highly tarnish-resistant, the metal stays bright and beautiful with minimal upkeep. Since it's still 92.5% pure silver, it qualifies as Sterling Silver—just better. Backed by a full one-year workmanship warranty and a 30-day unconditional guarantee—return it for any reason, no questions asked. Make her day—heck, make her year. ______________________________________________________________________ BTW, Since we make this from scratch after you order it, we have a lot of flexibility.
