India’s foremost business leader and style icon Nita Ambani recently captivated fashion and jewellery enthusiasts with a breathtaking piece of high-end jewellery — a Brazilian Paraíba tourmaline necklace from her personal collection. She showcased the ultra-rare gemstone at a high-tea celebration for Mona Mehta’s 60th birthday, drawing widespread admiration for both her sartorial flair and her love for exceptional jewels.
The Show-Stopping Necklace
At the event, Ambani wore a long necklace featuring a vivid Brazilian Paraíba tourmaline, surrounded by sparkling diamonds. The gemstone’s electric blue-green hue, caused by traces of copper, is one of the most coveted and rare colours in the world of coloured gemstones. Paraíba tourmalines from Brazil are considered especially precious due to their vibrant tone and scarcity.
Styled by Savleen Manchanda, she paired the statement piece with a white floral sari and matching blouse that tied at the back, along with oval and cushion-cut diamond earrings and a pear-cut diamond ring, ensuring her look was both elegant and arresting.
What Makes Paraíba Tourmaline So Special
Paraíba tourmalines belong to the tourmaline family of gemstones but stand apart due to their intense neon-like blue and green shades — hues caused by copper and sometimes manganese in the crystal. First discovered in the state of Paraíba, Brazil, these stones are rare and among the most valuable coloured gems in the world, often sought after by collectors and connoisseurs alike.
While tourmalines are found in other regions such as Nigeria and Mozambique, the Brazilian Paraíba stones remain the rarest and most vibrant, which adds to their desirability and prestige.
