Pave Paraiba Tourmaline Pendant 2.30 Ct., Platinum 950

At The Natural Gemstone Company we are pleased to present a pendant that exemplifies both rare material and exacting workmanship. The centerpiece is a transparent 2.30 carat cushion shape electric blue paraibatourmaline measuring 9.26 by 8.19 by 3.77 millimeters, cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize scintillation and color face up. This specimen originates from Africa, displays a medium light color saturation and an excellent polish, and has a clarity grade of slightly included when evaluated at eye level. The vivid electric blue hue that paraibatourmaline is prized for is well preserved in this stone, and the mixed brilliant cut balances large table facets for color display with brilliant facets for sparkle, making it particularly attractive to a connoisseur who prioritizes both hue and light performance.

The setting is executed entirely in platinum 950, chosen for its superior durability and its neutral white tone that enhances the cool blue of the center stone. Surrounding the paraibatourmaline is a halo of white round natural diamonds weighing approximately 0.64 carats in total, graded VS for clarity and F to G for color, selected to provide bright contrast while maintaining a high level of brilliance. The halo has been precisely calibrated so that each diamond complements the paraibatourmaline without overpowering it. The pendant shows meticulous craftsmanship in the prong work that secures the center stone, the symmetry of the halo, and the hand finished polish of the platinum. From the profile, you can see an open gallery with a refined X motif that allows light to enter the pavilion and enhances the stone’s fluorescence and depth, while also providing structural integrity.

For an educated buyer this piece offers a compelling combination of documented origin, measurable gemological attributes, and artisanal execution. The paraibatourmaline’s weight and dimensions deliver a notable presence on the neck, while the medium light saturation and slight inclusions are consistent with natural material of this caliber and do not detract from the gem’s overall visual impact. The platinum 950 setting and VS F to G diamonds ensure long term wearability and stability, and the handwork evident in the setting and gallery reflects the standards of The Natural Gemstone Company for pieces intended to be both beautiful and enduring.
