Lovinggems that paraiba looks beautiful to me. I hope the video will give you what you're looking for.
After you make a decision, I hope you will share your source.

Lovinggems: But even the earlier photos (not cellphone) look glowy to me...it looks really nice compared to many I have seen in photos.

PinkJewel - is that a Yvonne stone? Looks like her pics! I must have missed that one. They come and go so fast!

I agree. Soooo curious to know the source lovinggems! This seems to be a fabulous stone in terms of color and glow as well as the stunning round cab shape. Looks like something really special.

Yes- it's one of Yvonne's. Hoping it is better than photos which Yvonne says that it is.

PinkJewel great reflexes I hope you'll love it in the photos.
Thanks everyone for your input. Mine is from Yvonne as well, if you google Cecile Raley Designs and click on her channel you'll see it. Please let me know what you think?

DesertRose that oval cab was available for maybe 1 minute, PinkJewel was lightning fast.

LOL- yes, I happened to be on her page right when it appeared (had been busy basically the whole day)- and I did hit the buy button pretty fast. You can't delay much when they appear!!

You mean on YouTube? If so yes.

I believe it's around 5.8cts if it's the one I saw on her channel earlier, but I don't know the mm size. Hopefully, Lovinggems will chime in shortly. At the time I bought the cab yesterday Yvonne had listed she only had one cab available (the one I bought) and a sugarloaf cab that sold earlier in the day (or maybe it sold on Saturday, I can't remember). So, not sure when Yvonne got this one. Do you know, Lovinggems?

DesertRose the round one is approx 11mm. PinkJewel's is around 7.5 x 5.8 mm.

Hi pinkjewels it's not listed yet I think.

I love paraiba cabs ...congrats on both of your scores!

Re: The Show your Paraiba or Copper bearing tourmaline threa

Beautiful cabs! I hope you both love them when you see them in person, Lovinggems and pinkjewel. Cabs definitely look better in person based on my personal experience. Acinom's advice was great.

Lilmosun and Desertrose... excited to see your finished rings.

Re: The Show your Paraiba or Copper bearing tourmaline threa

thanks lovesvintage and limosun- I can't wait to see it in person!!!!!

Lovinggems- have you made a decision? I didn't see as much glow in the video as the photos, but what does Yvonne say? She's pretty accurate in her descriptions. The color, size and shape are gorgeous.

Hi pinkjewels not yet, I really want to see it in person. Yvonne did mention prior it is glowy and very neon, she will take another video for me, but looking at her previous videos they don't seem to showcase the gemstones that well eg the lagoon tourmaline with excellent cutting or the emerald cut sapphire, so I am not sure if an extra video will help.

How did she describe your oval cab? Please let me know what you think of yours when you see it in person.

Lovinggems, I think it is really hard to judge from photos, so I agree they really need to be seen in person. Yvonne said my cab does glow and that the saturation is better than the photos. But she said that I needed to see it to decide for sure. Her exact words were it's "rather pretty" in person- which set all sorts of alarm bells off to me as I don't think of a gem being "rather pretty" as a way I'd describe a great stone., but I had already purchased it by this point. Now, am I nitpicking words? possibly, as I don't know how Yvonne usually describes gems- maybe she undersells so people are blown away when they see items in person. The per carat price was much higher than her previous cabs, so if it is not neon and glowy I will definitely be returning it.

This is crazy!!! What a beautiful ring. And such a rich look with the Paraiba center and Hauynes and Paraiba melee. Simply stunning.
Are you thrilled with the outcome?
