From what I have read the stones found in Paraiba are usually smallish, rarely being over 3 to 5 carats.
The stones in the $50 million dollar necklace are obviously much, much larger, which is why I think they have come from Africa. But, of course, only a gemologist could state that with certainty after examining the stones.
One of the things which struck me about the necklace is the depth of the stones. With the settings having to be made to accommodate that, I wonder if the necklace would be difficult to wear?
