My latest CS purchase and first paraiba. It’s set In 18k gold and I love that the band has a bit of width and weight to it. Sorry for the awful picture — I’ll get a finger shot later.

What a beauty! Please tell us more about your stone and setting

Thank you :)! It was a anniversary surprise from my husband. We looked through an auction catalogue and saw it. I told him: wow, look, this is a so called Paraiba. He said - Oh wow! That is a beautiful stone! I said: ha ha, yep, that would be quite an upgrade, but not really an everyday ring... I then forgot about it. We went for a nice dinner some time later and he hands out a small parcel to me... I almost fainted. It‘s a 6. something carat, custom made ring and preloved. The cut is called star cut. The stone is from Mozambique and bears copper. It‘s colour mystifies me. Almost aquamarine at daylight it turns shiny blue green when night falls.

Wow how sweet of your husband to surprise you, knowing you loved this ring in the catalogue. It’s stunning

@elle_71125 ’s husband surprised her with a stunning Lily ring with Paraibas from Cecile Raley. What a gorgeous piece!!! Let’s encourage her to post a new group pic of her Paraiba pieces once she has received her ring.

It is sunny today! Sharing more photos of the big blue. This is a great substitute for actually going to a tropical beach!

Sure. Pic 1 is on a bed of a north-facing room with windows and doors shut, at 11am of a sunny day.

Pic 2 and Pic 3 are what it looks like under a desk, in an east-facing room at around 11am of a sunny day.

Congratulations, it looks like she has gorgeous glow. I am looking forward to seeing how you set her.
