1.76 Ct. Paraiba Tourmaline from Africa

Imagine holding a moment of the ocean and sky captured in a single stone, a delicate pear shaped paraiba tourmaline that sings with bluish green light, a treasure from the heart of Africa offered by The Natural Gemstone Company. This transparent gem weighs 1.76 carats, and measures 10.10 x 7.01 x 3.92 mm, with a mixed brilliant cut that sets every facet to dance with light, and an excellent polish that gives it a mirror like finish. Its clarity is very slightly included when viewed at eye level, and its light color intensity lends it an ethereal, airy presence that feels both rare and refined. There is no enhancement, so the captivating hue you see is pure, natural color, an honest conversation between earth and light, ready to be set into a design that will be treasured for generations. Picture this pear shaped gem as a pendant that brushes the collarbone, as a ring that elongates the hand, as drop earrings that frame the face, each setting allowing its gentle bluish green glow to become part of the wearer story.

The bluish green tone of this paraiba tourmaline is a chameleon of elegance, flattering a broad range of skin tones in ways that feel intuitive and personal. On fair skin, the stone reads like a fresh breath of sea glass, its pale blue green bringing a luminous contrast that brightens the complexion, and pairing beautifully with white gold or platinum to create a cool, modern elegance. For those with light or medium skin, the gem offers a soft glow that feels youthful and joyful, a hint of tropical light that can be warmed further with a rose gold halo, creating a romantic warmth that highlights the gentle green notes while keeping the blue clarity intact. Olive and warm undertones receive the gem like a secret understood, as the green aspect harmonizes with the natural golden hues, offering a glow that is both natural and precious, especially when set in yellow gold which enhances depth and richness, making the stone appear more vibrant and alive. On deeper skin tones, the paraiba shows its most dramatic personality, its light color intensity singing against rich, deep pigments to create an unforgettable contrast, a jewel that becomes a beacon, especially when framed by yellow gold or paired with small accent diamonds to intensify its luminous presence. The pear shape itself is universally flattering, elongating the finger in a ring, or drawing a graceful line at the throat as a pendant, while the mixed brilliant cut gives a scintillating life to every movement, ensuring that the stone reads differently in every light, offering endless moments of discovery to its wearer.

Choosing this gem from The Natural Gemstone Company is choosing a story of authenticity, craftsmanship, and affection. Imagine presenting this 1.76 carat pear shaped paraiba tourmaline as a promise, a celebration, a thank you, each glance at the gem recalling that instant of joy, that shared secret smile. The stone is small enough to feel intimate, yet large enough to be noticed, sitting at 10.10 x 7.01 x 3.92 mm, a proportion that makes it ideal for bespoke settings that honor its shape and color. Because it is untreated, it carries the quiet confidence of nature, an assurance that your piece is one of a kind, with a color story written underground and polished by skillful hands. At The Natural Gemstone Company we delight in pairing this paraiba with settings that amplify its voice, recommending white gold or platinum for a contemporary cool look, rose gold for romantic warmth, and yellow gold for classic, luminous contrast, while suggesting a halo of tiny diamonds to underscore its light without stealing its delicate bluish green soul. Let this gem be the memory you wear, a small green blue light that lifts ordinary days into celebrations, a gem that complements every skin tone with honesty and grace, promising to be treasured, admired, and passed on with love.
