Customised Engagement Ring: Paraiba Tourmaline & Sapphire

Are you looking for an exceptionally rare, neon-hued gemstone for your engagement ring? Don’t settle for the conventional. At GIOIA Fine Jewellery, we move beyond off-the-rack collections to craft unique pieces like this nature-inspired masterpiece. Exclusive to the couple, this Paraiba Tourmaline engagement ring stands as a vibrant testament to a love that refuses to be ordinary.

Paraiba Tourmaline is known to be one of the rarest tourmaline gems ever discovered—far scarcer than diamonds. We crafted this personalised Paraiba sapphire engagement ring after a detailed consultation with the couple, who expressed a strong desire for a one-of-a-kind personalised proposal ring. In this design, a round Paraiba Tourmaline takes center stage, gracefully accompanied by soft, pastel blue sapphires. The gentle pastel hue enhances the focal gem without overpowering it, resulting in a cohesive, handcrafted treasure.

The Definitive Paraiba Proposal Ring

In a world saturated with conventional diamond solitaires, a customised Paraiba Tourmaline proposal ring is a declaration of rare and electric love. Known for its mesmerizing neon-blue glow, the Paraiba Tourmaline offers a vibrancy that no other gemstone can replicate. It is the ultimate choice for the gentleman who wishes to present a ring as unique as the woman who will wear it.

Signature Design: The Paraiba Diamond Halo

One of our most requested bespoke designs is the Paraiba Diamond Halo. By encircling the central neon gem with a precise border of colourless, round brilliant diamonds, we achieve two powerful effects:

  • Visual Contrast: The stark whiteness of the diamonds amplifies the electric turquoise saturation of the Paraiba, making the center stone appear even more vivid.
  • Enhanced Presence: The halo expands the visual diameter of the ring, creating a grander, more charismatic presence on the finger without losing elegance.

For this specific commission, we elevated the design further with a unique “Y-Split” Shank. The band splits gracefully as it approaches the center setting, adorned with micro-pave diamonds. This architectural detail draws the eye inward, ensuring the Paraiba remains the undisputed star of the show.

Linear Symphony with Spinel & Diamond

Modern Style: Linear Symphony (Spinel & Diamond)

For the modern bride who seeks symmetry and depth, the “Linear Symphony” is a breathtaking alternative to the standard solitaire. Meticulously custom-made by our team of master artisans, this ring moves away from traditional designs, opting instead for a sophisticated orchestration of colour and geometry.

A Rose Gold Touch
We deliberately selected 18k Rose Gold to complement the tender, oceanic appearance of the Paraiba. Unlike the sharp, icy contrast of white gold, the warm copper tones of rose gold soften the neon glow, making the ring feel intimate and incredibly wearable for daily luxury. Unlike mass-market options, our Spinels are hand-selected for ‘high-brilliance’ to ensure they do not look dull next to the neon Paraiba.

The Gemstone Line-up
Flanking the center Paraiba are side stones of Spinel and Diamond. These five gemstones are positioned parallel to each other in a classic four-prong setting. This alignment creates a balanced “horizon line” on the finger—perfect for use as a statement wedding ring or a unique engagement ring that stacks effortlessly.

The “Royal Tiara” Cluster Ring

Regal Style: The Royal Tiara (Cluster Diamond)

This stunning Paraiba Tourmaline ring is truly a masterpiece, embodying the beauty of rare gemstones and exceptional craftsmanship. While the vibrant blue-green hue of the Paraiba Tourmaline takes center stage, the design architecture sets it apart as a “Tiara” style ring, designed for the woman who deserves to feel like royalty.

The brilliance of the center stone is accentuated by an elegant trio of cluster diamonds on each side. These diamonds are arranged in a triangular cluster that mimics the peaks of a crown. This adds a delicate, starry sparkle while perfectly framing the Paraiba, creating a harmonious visual balance that exudes sophistication.

The Dual-Band Effect
What truly sets this proposal ring apart is its unique open-band design. The gentle curves of the band resemble the arches of a tiara, symbolizing both regality and elegance. This thoughtful design elevates the ring beyond a simple proposal piece, transforming it into a wearable symbol of enduring love.

Paraiba Tourmaline: The Rarest Neon Gem

While diamonds are celebrated for their classic sparkle, coloured gems like this rare Paraiba Tourmaline offer something far more exclusive. Diamonds have gained value through decades of marketing, but Paraiba Tourmaline’s value is driven by sheer geological scarcity and its unique neon “glow.” In fact, fine quality Paraiba is significantly rarer than diamonds!

How Rare is it?
To put it in perspective: for every 10,000 diamonds mined, only one Paraiba Tourmaline is found. Since its discovery 30 years ago, jewellers and collectors alike have coveted this copper-bearing tourmaline for its intense saturation. It is a prized addition to any high jewellery collection.

Value & Rarity of Paraiba Tourmaline

Why Is Paraiba Tourmaline So Expensive?

The value of Paraiba Tourmaline is derived from its electric colour and specific origin, such as Brazil or Mozambique. Unlike diamonds, which are priced on a standardized 4C chart, Paraiba’s value is driven by the intensity of its neon hue (caused by traces of Copper and Manganese). The most prized stones exhibit electric neon or turquoise shades, often commanding high prices at auction houses. Choosing a Paraiba Tourmaline engagement ring adds a layer of rarity and distinction to your symbol of love.

Case Study: Hidden Initials (The Joel Story)

Personalisation goes beyond just choosing a gemstone. In another memorable creation, we designed a Paraiba Tourmaline ring with a halo of brilliant diamonds to accentuate the neon blue centre stone. However, the true magic lay in the hidden details that made Elissa say “Yes”.

The “JOEL” Detail:
We integrated the couple’s initials directly into the gallery of the ring setting. The name “JOEL” (his name) and “EL” (her initial) were seamlessly crafted into the side profile of the ring. This secret detail turns a beautiful ring into a private love letter, known only to the couple.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to commonly asked questions about paraiba tourmaline engagement rings process.

Is Paraiba Tourmaline suitable for an engagement ring?

Yes, Paraiba Tourmaline is a stunning and unique choice for an engagement ring. With a rating of 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale of hardness, it is durable enough for daily wear when treated with care. At GIOIA Fine Jewellery, we often recommend protective settings, such as halos or bezels, to safeguard the stone for a lifetime of wear.

What gives Paraiba Tourmaline its neon blue colour?

The electric “neon” or “electric blue” colour of Paraiba Tourmaline is caused by trace amounts of Copper and Manganese within the crystal structure. This unique combination allows the stone to glow from within, maintaining its vivid saturation even in low-light conditions, a quality known as “internal incandescence.”

What is the difference between Brazilian and Mozambique Paraiba Tourmaline?

The primary difference lies in saturation and size. Brazilian Paraiba (from the original Batalha mine) is famous for its intense, vivid saturation but is often found in smaller sizes. Mozambique Paraiba tends to be found in larger carat sizes with excellent clarity. At GIOIA, we guide you through these nuances to help you choose the perfect gem for your bespoke ring.

Can I wear my Paraiba Tourmaline ring every day?

Yes, you can wear a Paraiba Tourmaline ring daily, but it requires more mindfulness than a diamond. Avoid exposing the ring to hands-on work and remove it during heavy impact activities (like gym workouts) to prevent chipping.

Does Paraiba Tourmaline have a special meaning or symbolism?

Paraiba Tourmaline is often associated with wisdom, clarity, and creativity. As an October birthstone, it is believed to inspire artistic expression and clear communication. Its oceanic colour also symbolises calmness and depth, making it a perfect metaphorical representation of a deep and enduring marriage.

Is Paraiba Tourmaline a good investment?

Yes, high-quality Paraiba Tourmaline is considered a strong investment gemstone. Due to the depletion of the original mines in Brazil and the limited supply from Africa, prices have consistently risen over the last decade. It is one of the few coloured gemstones that rivals the per-carat price of top-tier diamonds.

Can GIOIA customise a wedding band to fit my unique Paraiba ring?

Absolutely. We specialise in stackable wedding bands designed to contour perfectly around unique center stones. Whether you prefer a “Tiara” V-shape, a “Linear” aesthetic, or a storytelling design (like our famous “Rabbit & Bear” bands), we handcraft the wedding band to sit flush with your engagement ring without gaps.
