The Show your Paraiba or Copper bearing tourmaline thread

[YC]

Paraiba International. Both of my paraibas are from them.

Thank you!

Sure. Pic 1 is on a bed of a north-facing room with windows and doors shut, at 11am of a sunny day.


Pic 2 and Pic 3 are what it looks like under a desk, in an east-facing room at around 11am of a sunny day.

So lovely. Have you thought of how to set this?

 

[ShulinaOY]

Your Paraiba looks amazing! So neon! Do you mind if I ask who the vendor is?

Starlanka. You can search online for them quite easily. They are located in Thailand.

Yes, I always loved the setting of Acinom's sugar loaf paraiba cab. I am planning to borrow that design (while hoping that it's OK with Acinom).

Yes, that's the one. I love the simple and elegant design, and I think it will suit my mostly casual wardrobe well. I have also considered making the setting fancy and big, such as a big halo, but I worry that too much bling on the setting may steal the thunder of the stone. So eventually I came to realize that Acinom's setting is my favorite.

Got my paraiba cabochon today from Paraiba International! It is so cute and I look forward to set it up as a convertible ring and necklace! Already have a design in mind but will wait until next year to do this. This photo was taken in the evening with indoor lights and the neon colour still shows! It looks like a candy

My little green Paraiba cab ring finally arrived!

Should @fiona00004 opt for a Paraiba bypass ring or should she set the magic green cuprian? Cast your vote in her thread: https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/which-stone-s-should-i-set-next.261749/

@Django0413 has set her marquise Paraiba in a stacking ring. What a gorgeous set!!! Congratulate her in her thread:

Input Please: Stacking Ring CADs for my 40th Birthday

Hi All, I'm doing my first project for my upcoming 40th birthday and would love some opinions. I've been slowly collecting small, rare gemstones and my plan is to create stacking rings with them. I'm starting with 4 rings this year (for my 40th) and then will collect a new stone and make a new...

A few of mine! Obviously top left (of the three stones) is just a photo from the internet but the rest are mine!



This is a horrible photo as this gem is far more blue in real life! No idea what the camera was doing.

Wow! We never see any clear stones like yours. Blown away.

None! It’s not calling me at the moment!

Those are so gorgeous! Enjoy!

@lilmosun , queen of Paraiba, did it again. What a stunning collection.

 

[Acinom]

Another Paraiba queen! @elle_71125 wears two pink and Paraiba rings. Such a feminine and flowery look

 

[Goodmuffin]

I bought this huge 8ct paraiba online for cheap a few months ago. It came with a certificate which stated that it had minor oil. Is oiling common for paraibas, especially for bigger stones from Mozambique?

I think the inclusions are actually acceptable but I'd like to know you guys' thoughts

 

[icy_jade]

Is oiling common for paraibas

Not really and the color isn’t neon so I wouldn’t classify this stone as a Paraiba, just a cuprian tourmaline but not worth much given the lack of glow and significant inclusions. Inclusions are more acceptable (personal preferences and all) in glowy neon stones.

 

[Acinom]

Two Paraibas are amongst the favourite loose stones of @voce . She had an amazing rings and stones collection

Is this the layout for @voce ’s new rings? Stay tuned

 

[Acinom]

@Chasiu ’s new ring is ready. It’s a Paraiba 3 stone... with 3 (three!!!) Paraibas. Congratulate her with her magnificent glowy ring in her thread and encourage her to post a lot more pics: https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/help-with-matching-some-paraibas-for-a-ring.258036/

This one has been a long time coming! I bought this tourmaline from Gene a while ago and sat on it for a while. I had a setting custom made from China then had my jeweler set the pink melee stones and the main stones. It’s 14k rose gold with moissanite half moons. Hope you like it!

Like it?? I do not like it...
... I love it!!!
It’s stunning. Do you have a thread for it?

 

[Acinom]

A new Pad and Paraiba for @andrewcarter173 !
Should it be set with white or black diamonds?
Looking forward to see the result
