Certified Paraiba Tourmaline Gold Ring, Barbara Heinrich 2025

Radiant and undeniably rare, this extraordinary Paraiba tourmaline ring by acclaimed designer Barbara Heinrich is a true statement of color and master craftsmanship. At its center sits an exceptional 17.62 carat Paraiba tourmaline cabochon, prized for its vivid, electric bluish-green hue and luminous, glowing presence. The domed cabochon cut enhances the stone’s natural translucency, revealing mesmerizing internal textures and a depth of color that shifts beautifully in the light.

The collector-quality gemstone is bezel-set in Heinrich’s signature 18k yellow gold - a rich combination of matte and high-polish finish that provides a warm, elegant contrast to the cool brilliance of the Paraiba tourmaline. The ring is finished on her iconic ribbon band design, composed of fluid, sculptural strands of gold that wrap gracefully around the finger, offering both visual movement and a comfortable, balanced fit. Bold yet refined, it exemplifies Barbara Heinrich’s distinctive ability to merge organic form with timeless sophistication.

Sized at US 7.75, the statement ring can be professionally sized to preference, ensuring a perfect fit.

About Paraiba Tourmaline - Among the world’s most coveted gemstones, Paraiba tourmaline is prized for its unmistakable neon blue-green glow, an effect caused by trace amounts of copper, a rarity in gemology. First discovered in Brazil in the late 1980s, true Paraiba material is exceptionally scarce, with only limited additional deposits found in Mozambique and Nigeria. Fine stones of significant size and color intensity, such as this remarkable cabochon, are exceedingly rare and increasingly difficult to source.

Highly sought after by collectors and connoisseurs, Paraiba tourmalines have shown strong appreciation over time due to their limited supply, distinctive color, and growing global demand. As a result, exceptional examples are considered not only breathtaking works of nature, but also compelling additions to a fine jewelry investment collection.
