Hi all,
As most of you know I've been searching high and low for a paraiba I both could afford and was gorgeous. Of course, the color I want is the true electric blue (with "glow") that is so elusive. Yvonne has had some excellent ones lately, but I am ALWAYS too late![Sad-2 :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Happily I found an etsy store with some amazing paraiba cabs (and a few tiny faceted stones), so after much wavering I decided to take the plunge. Now for photos! First up is the cab itself (7.90mm in diameter by 3.3mm deep).
Here are the little stones I got. I got all 9 of the round ones (not the one oval also shown in the pic)
And potentially most exciting....the vendor made a "mock up" of what a ring design could look like with .60 TCW of diamonds. She is going to help with ring design, and I am THRILLED to finally have my "dream" paraiba ring
