Theo Fennell Hummingbird Earrings
Asubtle combination of copper and manganese varies the intensity of this incredible blue depending on their mineral tones. The most popular color remains neon or electric blue. For this so desired shade, the gem can be heated to revive its blue of the South Seas and thus extinguish the red excess.
Recorded in the «Guinness Book of World Records», the largest Paraiba tourmaline of 191.87 carats is called «Ethereal Carolina Divine Paraiba».
Mounted by the Canadian jeweler Kaufmann de Suisse on the Necklace «Star of the Paraiba Ocean Jewels», it is a vibrant and majestic tribute to the kingdom of the oceans. The necklace with 1706 precious stones and semi-precious colors will be exhibited from 14 to 24 December 2014
in Palm Beach, Florida, before being sold at auction.
Only one Paraiba tourmaline comes to the world while 10,000 diamonds come out of the mines. It competes well by its rarity with
the highly sought Blue Diamond.
The heart of the Earth still conceals a thousand and one splendors, and in its heart unsuspected treasures huddle.
