The unforgettable cover star of this year’s calendar is the spectacular electric turquoise blue gemstone: the Paraiba tourmaline. Currently the hottest collector’s gemstone in the world, a limited supply of this rare tourmaline is available only to investors with deep pockets. Originally from Brazil, new mines have been discovered in Africa and a few gemstones are coming on the market. The prices are increasing as we fall in love with the Paraiba’s neon colour, a blue that has never been seen before in gemstones. Intense and with a brilliant internal fire, the Paraiba glows in the dark due to its high levels of copper content.

Colour is emotive, and this year’s 2008 Paraiba Calendar is full of gorgeous colours to enrich your life. Rich forest green and hot pink rubellite tourmalines always flash two shades as they catch the light, and brilliant cut diamonds and hypnotic blue moonstones add extra sparkle and brilliance.

Choosing a gemstone is so personal: each colour is different and distinctive. Looking at your sparkling aquamarine or pink sapphire is uplifting and reminds you of sunny days and holidays; choose colours that delight and inspire you.
