This<\/span>\u00a0one-of-a-kind creation designed<\/span>\u00a0by Monica Kaufmann of Kaufmann de Suisse Jewelers and\u00a0<\/span>named,<\/span>\u00a0\u201cThe<\/span>\u00a0Paraiba Star of the Ocean Jewels\u201d Necklace<\/span>\u00a0features\u00a0<\/span>T<\/span>h<\/span>e Guiness Book of Records for\u00a0<\/span>world\u2019s largest Paraiba Tourmaline \u2013 a natural treasure of<\/span>\u00a0signifant\u00a0<\/span>importance.<\/span><\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
This majestic 191.87 cts. gemstone\u00a0<\/span>was first introduced to the markeplace by\u00a0<\/span>Mr. Vincent Boucher, Canadian financier, physicist, artist and President of Billionaire Business Enterprises Inc. in 2009. His passion for world-class gems, and his desire to collaborate with a reputable and renowned design house, brought Mr. Boucher to Kaufmann de Suisse to create a handmade objet d\u2019 art in which to present this\u00a0<\/span>rarity<\/span>.<\/span><\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
Tourmaline crystals showing only one fancy color\u00a0<\/span>in addition to a flawless inclusion free nature<\/span>\u00a0are\u00a0<\/span>extremely\u00a0<\/span>rare,\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0especially in such a\u00a0<\/span>size. For Paraiba tourmalines, the traces of copper, gold and manganese are what differentiate it from other tourmalines and give it an incandescent neon-like color and inner glow<\/span>\u00a0which mesmerizes with brilliance.<\/span><\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
To illustrate the rarity of this gem \u2013 for every 10,000 carats of diamonds mined, there was only 1 ct. of Paraiba tourmaline mined,<\/span>\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0mines have been\u00a0<\/span>near\u00a0<\/span>empty since 2008. Additionally, only 50 kilograms\u00a0<\/span>of Tourmalines\u00a0<\/span>have been mined in the entire world.<\/span><\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>

In Rappaport\u2019s October 2013 Rappaport Magazine, the authority on gemstone pricing, the price for Paraiba tourmalines larger than 10 cts ha<\/span>d<\/span>\u00a0already escalated to beyond $10<\/span>0<\/span>,000 per carat, and they state<\/span>d<\/span>\u00a0that a ceiling price ha<\/span>d<\/span>\u00a0not been established on the material because prices for these tourmalines\u00a0<\/span>would\u00a0<\/span>continue to climb.<\/span>\u00a0In Gemguide\u2019s November 2020 \u00a0wholesale pricing guidance sheets, extra fine Cuprian Tourmaline sell for upwards of $25,000 per carat and Paraiba Tourmalines wholesale for upwards of $60,000 per carat.<\/span><\/p>

It is important to note that most gems are treated with heat or irradiation in a laboratory to improve the color or clarity of the stone however these processes effectively negate a stone\u2019s inherent energies, or energy waves. In this divine\u00a0<\/span>191.87cts\u00a0<\/span>Paraiba tourmaline, there have been no treatments made to the stone and it remains pure and un<\/span>adultered \u2013 flawless<\/span><\/p>

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
It is always a rare opportunity to design and showcase a world-class gem, and my personal inspiration was the result of living in Palm Beach, Florida and becoming enamored with the beauty, strength and majesty of the sea. So much life is created beneath the surface, just as in the formation of this incredible Paraiba\/Cuprian tourmaline. The brilliant blue-green color of the stone is symbolic of our oceans, whose health is inextricably linked with our own. <\/span><\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
The oceans are the wellspring of life and connect us all \u2013 from microbe to mammal to man. The elaborate composition is a celebration of God\u2019s unfathomable grand design and the interdependent nature of our planet, and how we all hang in the balance of it\u2019s health and how we must respect her and each other. Each individual creature I chose was sculpted by hand to lie upon the delicate 18kt yellow gold coral branches from which it finds shelter and sustenance. <\/span><\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
The myriad of colors and the diversity of all the the sea creatures mimics the diversity we find in nature. Multicolor precious and semi-precious stones are pave\u2019 set into each sea creature, and include: pink, blue, yellow and orange sapphires, emerald, ruby, blue topaz, amethyst, tsavorite, rubellite garnet and diamonds. The total number of stones is 1,706 including one brilliant yellow canary diamond weighing 10.13 cts. and of course the mesmerizing Paraiba tourmaline. The exquisite yellow canary diamond gives life to the Paraiba Tourmaline Ocean as does the sun to the transparent blue ocean beneath. And then, the raison d\u2019\u00eatre, the core, the 191.87 cts Paraiba tourmaline, hangs delicately in the balance below the Canary Diamond sun \u2013 the perfect marriage of form and substance, of water and fire. <\/span><\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
Owning this piece of art, this unique and beautiful rarity, will not only garner the admiration of all who will see it on the neck of your loved one, but with the near exhaustion of this gemstone\u2019s mines, along with it\u2019s incomparable size, natural, untreated color and transparency will make it a prized possession to be admired and cherished forever.<\/span><\/div>
