Three Stone Bluish Green Paraiba Tourmaline Ring 0.16 Ct., 14K White Gold

From the heart of Brazil to your hand, this ring tells the story of a rare paraiba tourmaline that began life deep in the earth and emerged with an otherworldly bluish green hue, captured and preserved by skilled artisans. The central stone is a transparent 0.16 carat pear shape paraibatourmaline, measuring 5.26 x 2.61 x 1.95 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize fire and glow. Evaluated at eye level, the gem shows a clarity grade of very slightly included, with intense color saturation and an excellent polish that reveals the copper induced luminosity that paraiba tourmalines are celebrated for. Around the center, white round natural diamonds, totaling approximately 0.028 carats, with clarity grades Very Slightly Included, VS1 and VS2, and a pleasing F color grade, flank the main gem, adding crisp, icy sparkle. The entire composition is set in lustrous 18K white gold, each prong and gallery shaped to accentuate the pear profile while cradling the stones securely. At The Natural Gemstone Company we trace every step of this piece, from ethical sourcing in Brazil to the careful cutting that preserved saturation, to the hand setting that completes the ring, so the wearer carries not only a jewel but a provenance and a narrative.

When it comes to durability for everyday life, paraibatourmaline performs very well, while benefiting from thoughtful design choices made by our craftsmen. Tourmaline ranks around 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, which means it resists scratches from common materials encountered in daily routines, though it is not as hard as diamond. The mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish reduce surface irregularities that can catch and chip, and the pear shape is protected by a secure prong setting in 18K white gold, which offers both strength and flexibility to absorb gentle impacts. The small white diamonds beside the center stone add both beauty and additional structural support to the head, helping distribute wear. For confident daily wear, avoid heavy blows and prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals, and have routine checks of the prongs, and this ring will retain its vivid color and refined presence for years to come.
