The most vivid blue-green you ever did see
Discover the mesmerizing world of natural Paraiba tourmaline, one of the rarest and most distinctive gemstones in fine jewelry. Originating in Brazil and later discovered in Mozambique, Paraiba is celebrated for its exceptionally vivid blue, turquoise and blue-green colors.
The Discovery of Paraiba Tourmaline
Paraiba tourmaline was first discovered in Brazil in the late 1980s by miner Heitor Dimas Barbosa, who had spent years searching the hills of Paraíba for something exceptional. The gemstones became renowned for their intense blue and green colors, caused by traces of copper. Copper-bearing tourmalines were later discovered in Mozambique and Nigeria, expanding the sources of this remarkable gemstone while Brazilian Paraiba remains especially prized for its rarity and history.
Crafted Around Nature's Rarest Colors
Each Paraiba tourmaline has its own distinctive color, shape and character. Our jewelry is designed around these exceptional natural gemstones, pairing vivid Paraiba tourmalines with platinum, gold and diamonds to create pieces that celebrate the beauty of each individual stone.
Every Paraiba tourmaline is unique, which is why our jewelry begins with the gemstone itself. We hand-select natural Paraiba tourmalines for their exceptional color and character, then create settings in platinum and gold that complement each individual stone. From refined designs to one-of-a-kind custom jewelry, our craftsmanship is focused on showcasing the remarkable beauty of Paraiba.
Paraiba tourmaline is celebrated for an extraordinary glow unlike that of most other gemstones. Its vivid blue, turquoise and blue-green colors are associated with traces of copper within the stone, producing the intense saturation and luminosity for which Paraiba is renowned. From electric blues to vibrant blue-greens, this remarkable color is one of the defining characteristics that makes fine Paraiba tourmaline so distinctive.
