Paraiba Tourmaline

Julia is renowned for her use of Paraiba tourmalines, thanks to her highly reputable sources in Brazil and Mozambique, and the stunning artistic pieces she produces. Paraiba tourmalines are a recent discovery of the 1980s and are so rare that there is only one Paraiba tourmaline mined for every 10,000 diamonds. These captivating gems regularly achieve five-figure sums per carat, and thus Julia's Paraiba tourmaline work are highly-coveted signature pieces. Julia sets her Paraiba tourmalines in 18ct yellow gold to create entrancing rings, earrings, necklaces and bangles. For Julia, this tonal balance of such precious natural materials is a reflection of the sand and sea found at the world's most beautiful coastlines.
