That is so cool! I didn’t know that. Makes sense though because it sure does glow! I probably shouldn’t wear them while driving because I kept getting distracted!!

Ummmmm I need about 100000 more pics of that 3 stone. It's small but packs a color punch!::mrgreen2:

Here you go!! I actually have pics of this under the Yvonne thread. I bought it preloved from the lovely @leslie1956! I begged her to sell it to me because I loved it so much. Tiny but sooo glowy with the emeralds abs hyaunes. Now next to the paraiba, it’s glow city! I need to do a photo shoot with it next to the paraiba and emerald pendant whose stones I got from @lilmosun

It is lovely with such an amazing glow made more special in that your DH gifted this to you. It is wonderful that he is in tune to what brings you joy. :appl:

Honestly, I'd never felt envy for sugar loaf cabochons until I saw your paraiba. Not even ruby sugar loafs moved me, but this one did!

That little three stone ring looks great with your paraiba! Seeing them together makes me even gladder that I sold it to you :) The gem colors of the two rings play off one another beautifully.

Since I didn’t design the ring, I didn’t pick the cut, but I adore cabs and sugar loafs, especially with paraibas. Faceted stones are beautiful but I love the awesome glow of a cab and it seems to be more bang for your buck. And while drooling over the paraiba thread, I’ve always admired @Acinom’s gorgeous sugarloaf - https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/paraiba-sea-resort-ring-by-david-klass.214231/!

Hello everyone! Some of you might have seen this is the show your paraiba tourmaline thread. But now that I have it on my finger I figured it deserved it’s own post!

My hubby knows I’ve been dreaming of a paraiba ring for a long time. I recently had a pendant made from Yvonne that had a small paraiba in it and the color is so beautiful. I would send him pics when Yvonne would post a new one to get his thoughts but I would never pull the trigger and buy. One of my favorite ones was a sugarloaf cab. It seemed to be a good size for the price. I sent him the link but then when I checked a few hours later it had sold. Oh well, happens a lot. But I was bummed.

Fast forward to last week and I’m thinking of creating a small ring with a paraiba in it along with other family stones to match my pendant. I mentioned it to hubby who shot it down immediately which isn’t like him. Especially considering how much he liked my pendant and knowing I would probably pay for doing a small ring myself.

I must have looked sad because he then goes, well I already got you something for our anniversary (in June). He asked if I wanted to see. At first I said no, but then curiosity got the best of me (and I could tell he kind of wanted to show it to me!). Turns out that exact same day, Yvonne had sent him pics of the ring he had created with her! And wouldn’t you know it, it had the sugarloaf cab in it!!

I cannot believe my husband did a CAD project! I haven’t even done one, too cheap to pay a CAD fee lol. I think they did a great job! He asked for a more antique feel and had it incorporate small color change garnets which is his birth stone (tourmaline is mine). And kudos to Yvonne too, I know it isn’t her standard style and I think it came out beautifully. I love how simple it is, allowing the stone to really shine.

Here are Yvonne’s pics of the ring and stone. Paraiba is 1.97 cts and 8mm, from Brazil.

Wow! This is beautiful and I love how it captures the simplicity and romance at the same time. Great stone as well! Love working with Yvonne!
