Here's a paraiba tourmaline 14K gold ring up for sale. It was custom made by Hidden Treasure Gems on Etsy last year. I don't seem to wear it all that much so I am letting this go for a steal. I guess I prefer faceted stones versus cabochons. The paraiba does have a wonderful neon glow and the diamonds and sapphires have plenty of sparkle.
Description of ring from vendor:
Ring, 14K white gold; the halo-type setting with five prongs set with a pear-shaped cabochon Brazilian Paraiba (copper-bearing tourmaline).
The tourmaline is surrounded by a single row "halo" of round 1.1mm faceted bright pink natural sapphires (estimated total weight for the 26 stones, 0.20ct).
The shoulders of the ring are set with 1.4mm round brilliant-cut diamonds (F-G color, VS average clarity, ideal cut, total weight for the 20 stones is 0.23ct).
The gallery of the ring is bezel-set with two round faceted natural yellow sapphires (total weight for the two stones is 0.05ct).
The ring size is 6.5.
Stamps or marks: "14K S"
Gross weight: 4.01 gm
Specs of stone:
Shape: pear-shaped cabochon
Size: 9.05mm x 6.60mm x 4.0mm
Weight: 1.57 cts
Origin: Brazil
Treatment: Oil
Description: Nice bright "neon" blue-green color of medium saturation, moderate inclusions, nearly transparent
Note: There is a small surface reaching inclusion visible but it does not traverse the stone.
Asking $2200 (plus shipping and PayPal fees). It barely covers the cost of the stone alone so it's like getting the ring setting for free. I am a private seller so all sales are final.
