A tourmaline triumph
For every ten thousand diamonds mined from the earth, only one incandescent, startlingly blue-green Paraiba tourmaline will be discovered. This alone makes Simone Jewels’ Nouveau Paraiba Iris ring (SG$35,000/RM106,250) a rare sight to behold. Weighing in at an impressive 2.83 carats (Paraiba tourmalines above three carats are virtually unheard of), this spirited gemstone in its setting of diamonds and 18-carat gold – reminiscent of a Dutch iris flower – will glow with scintillating intensity, even in the faintest light.
