NEON BLUE PARAIBA TOURMALINETM

Tourmaline as a gem has been around for centuries but until modern mineralogy, the dazzling colors of tourmaline were identified as another gem based on its coloring. Even the name given this gem, tourmaline, which comes from the Sri Lanka Sinhalese word "tura malli" meaning "mixed gems", identifies the confusion that surrounded the early days of this gem.

The colors of tourmaline are many - red, magenta, bright pink, peach, orange, yellow, mint, grass and forest green, ocean blue, violet, even bicolor pink and green. The most valuable of tourmalines are the neon blues and greens, the Paraiba Tourmaline, which gets its name from the region where it was discovered in 1989 - Paraiba, Brazil.

"Neon Blue Paraiba TourmalineTM displays a unique neon glow, the coveted radiant turquoise and green color, which is a result of copper, an element that has never before been found in a natural stone"

Sunny Yellow Diamonds®

The most prized shades of yellow diamonds are the pure, rich shades, its yellow color obtained through the presence of nitrogen. While natural fancy color yellow diamonds are rarer than brown diamonds and more abundant than other natural color diamonds, this sunny bright diamond still represents just a small portion of overall production, each a one-of-a-kind and 10,000 times rarer than a white diamond.

Famous yellows include The Incomparable, the world’s largest internally flawless diamond which weighs 407.48 carats and is a deep brownish yellow, the 253.70-carat yellow octahedral Oppenheimer Diamond crystal and 101.29carat Allnatt Fancy Vivid yellow with a clarity grade of VS2.

Diamonds are the hardest material on earth and the only gem that is composed of only one element, carbon.
