Back in the late 90s, early 00s, a small company in California was working on a method of treating Topaz to make it look like London Blue Topaz, but without the expense of having it treated at a nuclear reactor, etc... They would bake a chemical of some kind right into the skin of the topaz using extremely high heat and pressure. The problem was, the stones kept turning out too green. One bright soul observed it looked a lot like the Paraiba Tourmaline, and Voila!... a market was created for their "Too green for London Blue Topaz experiment". We are using the term "Paraiba" as a unique color descriptor, because no other term would describe the color nor relate to the natural stone better.
A really cool color, theres nothing really like it.
This ring sits nicely on the finger, heavy filigree, center stone displayed well. This is a seriously solid ring.
At SylvaRocks, all of our Sterling Silver is a highly tarnish resistant silver. Since the resulting metal is still 92.5% pure silver, is still qualifies as Sterling Silver -- just better.
In plain English, this is simply a very pretty stone, and its well mounted in this Sterling Silver ring. Gives me goosebumps just to look at it.
