Hi all,
I have an October birthday so tourmaline is one of my stones. I recently purchased a pink stone that is really lovely and will eventually become a pendant I think. I have loved everyone's paraiba and purchased some of Yvonne's melee when it was available with the idea that I would eventually find a project for them. I happened upon a stone on the Paraiba International site by chance. It is an 8 mm cab. I love the stones that have more of a blue color but have not seen any that have been close in my price range or they have gotten snapped up already by the time I see them. I received the cab today. The clarity of the stone is I and this is likely why I was able to afford it. I have taken pictures of the stone and the stone with my melee. Please let me know your thoughts and give any advice you might have. I have almost no exposure to paraiba in real life, only the gorgeous pieces I see here
and my melee! Thanks!!!
