Untreated Brazilian Paraiba Ring, 1.92 Carats
Vivid and electrifying, this exceptional ring centers a rare Brazilian Paraiba tourmaline weighing 1.92 carats. The oval cut gemstone displays the unmistakable neon glow that has made Paraiba tourmaline one of the most coveted colored stones in the world.
Accompanied by a report from AGL, the Paraiba tourmaline is confirmed to be of prestigious Brazilian origin and entirely unheated, a distinction of the highest importance to collectors. Unaltered examples from Brazil are extraordinarily scarce, and this ring represents a superb opportunity to acquire a gemstone prized for both its rarity and its unmistakable beauty. The rare gem is flanked by diamonds totaling 0.81 carat and set in platinum.
In 1981, the gem miner Heitor Dimas Barbosa, commonly known among the local villagers as “Heitor the Fool,” began tunneling in the hill behind São José de Batalha, Paraíba, Brazil. Barbosa was determined that his hunch would lead to finding a new gemstone. Despite having no electricity or dependable water, Barbosa persevered with faith for over six years through the rugged and arid landscape on his quest. In 1987, his efforts were rewarded by the discovery of the first Brazilian Paraiba, a stunning gem that was unlike any stone ever found. Soon after their discovery, production began to dwindle; over 90% of the tourmaline production occurred between 1989 and 1992. It is thanks to their rare chemical composition that these gems owe their spectacular coloring and neon-bright glow that appears to light the stone from within.
