My pendant is ready and hope to pick it up this weekend....originally made from a sibling ring from the same parcel as my avatar..I had the vendor remove the shank, add an enhancer bale and stabilizing ring in the back (to prevent flipping ). While it lacks the windex blue and is slightly smaller than my ring, it was priced accordingly.

This completes my paraiba collection unless I win the lottery.

Lilmosun, I your new pendant! Must be nice to have a paraiba collection. I am gonna see if you have a thread on it or not with more pics. I hope you win the lottery so we can see more beautiful creations!

laughing...I decided to peek into this thread to see if I could find more pictures of your new ring only to see Acinom's posting of my baby one. It's a cobalt spinel at the bottom..but yes, it has the hauyne like color.

But I'm addicted hauynes too....



Think I have a neon problem? I blame it on growing up in the decade of black lights and flourescent colors

lovesvintage- So sweet on the well-wishes on the lottery!! The pendant came out even nicer IRL...love it! Feels like I've come full circle since it was my paraiba cluster ring that got me seriously hooked on colored stones. Never thought I would own what I have...so happy even if I stop here

Oooh!! Your stone is out of this world Chrono! What an amazing color and glow. I like!!!
Who sourced the stone for you if I may ask?

I just saw in SL's thread that you might set yours as well with a double Paraiba and diamond melee halo. What a great idea. Looking forward to admire the result.

A thousand pardons, I meant to post this on the rainbow thread, of course. Will see if the administrator can help!

Re: The Show your Paraiba or Copper bearing tourmaline threa

No worries Boerumbiddy!
I hope you will repost it in the Rainbow thread as it is such a unique piece.

Pinkjewel collected some Paraiba cabs from Yvonne Raley! They look like exotic neon raindrops. Follow her thread to see what David Klass will create for her with the Mahenge as center stone and the cabs as accent stones:

Qubitasaurus' copper bearing tourmaline. Such a stunning glowing stone and elegant setting.

Re: The Show your Paraiba or Copper bearing tourmaline threa

Not the greatest picture, but it seems to capture the color pretty well.

Re: The Show your Paraiba or Copper bearing tourmaline threa

blushpeony's stone has the glow! She will have it evaluated by a jeweller who will determine whether it has any issues. Fingers crossed that she keeps it as it looks so beautiful.

 

[Acinom]

Re: The Show your Paraiba or Copper bearing tourmaline threa

It's a keeper for blushpeony!!
But what melee will the choose for that glowing center. Paraiba, sapphire or diamond melee?
