Vivid greenish blue with a captivating inner glow, two crystal-clear Brazilian Paraiba tourmalines take center stage in this exceptional pair of earrings. Weighing a total of 4.99 carats, the gemstones display exceptional clarity and perfectly matched color. The AGL report confirms they are of Brazilian origin and have undergone no heat or clarity treatment, an extraordinary rarity as almost all Paraiba tourmalines are heated to achieve their neon tone. Each tourmaline is accented by a dramatic burst of marquise cut diamonds, totaling 7.01 carats. Set in platinum.

In 1981, the gem miner Heitor Dimas Barbosa, commonly known among the local villagers as “Heitor the Fool,” began tunneling in the hill behind São José de Batalha, Paraíba, Brazil. Barbosa was determined that his hunch would lead to finding a new gemstone. Despite having no electricity or dependable water, Barbosa persevered with faith for over six years through the rugged and arid landscape on his quest. In 1987, his efforts were rewarded by the discovery of the first Brazilian Paraiba, a stunning gem that was unlike any stone ever found. Soon after their discovery, production began to dwindle; over 90% of the tourmaline production occurred between 1989 and 1992. It is thanks to their rare chemical composition that these gems owe their spectacular coloring and neon-bright glow that appears to light the stone from within.
