0.14 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Paraiba Tourmaline Pair from Brazil

This matched pair of Paraiba tourmalines presents a precise and consistent specification, suitable for high quality matched jewelry applications. Each stone weighs 0.07 carats, with one measuring 3.49 x 2.12 x 1.34 mm and the other measuring 3.51 x 2.17 x 1.36 mm. Both are oval in shape and finished in a mixed brilliant cut, delivering a balance of table and pavilion faceting that enhances sparkle and color dispersion. The stones are transparent, with a clarity grade of very slightly included as evaluated at eye level, and exhibit a medium light color intensity in a blue Paraiba hue characteristic of material originating from Brazil. The polish on both stones is graded excellent, and the pair has been enhanced by heat treatment, a common and stable enhancement that has been fully disclosed.

Optically these gems display the cool, electric blue associated with Brazilian Paraiba tourmaline while retaining a refined level of transparency and brilliance. The mixed brilliant cut was selected to optimize light return for the small proportions of each stone, and to maintain consistent appearance when paired in a mirrored setting such as earrings or a pendant and stud combination. The very slightly included clarity grade means that under unaided observation the gems read clean, with internal characteristics that do not materially affect brilliance or durability. The dimensions of each stone are closely matched, with differences well within tolerances expected for handcrafted cutting, resulting in a set that presents as uniform when mounted.
