Paraiba tourmaline is named after the state in the northeast corner of Brazil. The blue of these gemstones is the intense blue-green of the ocean on a Brazilian beach. This is a gorgeous cabochon, slightly more blue than green, on a hammered domed band.
I use only argentium sterling silver in my jewelry. Argentium sterling silver is a hypoallergenic alloy of silver. It contains more pure silver than ordinary sterling (93.5% or 94%, vs. a minimum of 92% for other sterling). It contains no nickel. It is very durable, and unlike ordinary sterling silver, it is tarnish-resistant.
If you like this ring but would love something slightly different, please let me know! I'm happy to take custom orders.
