Bulgari's Colour Journey takes us to the heart of the Paraiba tourmaline

  Bulgari’s claim to be the Master of Colour is unquestionably upheld with the arrival of the first of the Bulgari Colour Journeys.  Bulgari presents Colour Journey, a capsule collection of high jewellery , watches and handbags that is the initial step in a voyage of immersion in the wondrous world of gemstones. For the initial collection, Bulgari has focused on the magnificent aqua-green Paraiba tourmaline, which so vividly showcases the Roman jeweller’s inimitable confidence when it comes to creating brilliant combinations of colour. Seventeen jewels, two watches and handbags with gem-set handles set the tone for Bulgari’s opulent and awe-inspiring initial Colour Journey. The Paraiba tourmaline or cuprian elbaite tourmaline - as it is more prosaically known - is one of the most rare and sought after gemstones in the world. For every 10,000 diamonds unearthed, there is but one Paraiba tourmaline. This captivating neon blue-green stone was first discovered by gem-hunter Heitor Dimas Ba
