Topaz

WHAT IS A TOPAZ?

Topaz is a naturally occurring gemstone known for its clarity, durability, and wide range of colors. Found in both ancient and modern jewelry, topaz has been valued for centuries across different cultures. It ranks 8 on the Mohs scale of hardness, making it suitable for everyday wear in rings and other fine jewelry.

We use ethically sourced topaz selected for its visual quality and brilliance. From the deep tones of London Blue and the light tones of Sky Blue to the rich, golden hues of Imperial Topaz, each variety brings its visual character to a piece.

TOPAZ PROPERTIES

Topaz is often chosen for its clarity, durability, and broad color range. Throughout history, it has been associated with various symbolic meanings, including focus, calmness, and intention. While these interpretations differ across cultures, they have played a role in its lasting presence of personal and symbolic jewelry.

In design, blue topaz is appreciated for its cool, refined appearance. Among its varieties, London Blue Topaz stands out for its deeper, more saturated tone, often used to create contrast or a bold focal point in a piece. On the other hand, Imperial Topaz, with its rich amber to pinkish-orange glow, brings warmth and depth. These shades allow topaz to suit both modern and traditional styles, offering visual range without compromising elegance.

WHERE DOES TOPAZ COME FROM

Topaz can be found in various parts of the world, but some of the most beautiful stones come from Brazil, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Russia, and the USA. Our topaz is carefully sourced, with a focus on quality and character, especially when selecting stones for one-of-a-kind jewelry.

Brazil is especially known for producing Imperial Topaz, with its warm, golden-to-pink hues. Meanwhile, London Blue and Swiss Blue topaz are often treated natural stones, with their colors brought out through heat or irradiation processes. These treatments are stable, safe, and widely accepted in fine jewelry.

ONE OF A KIND

Topaz may be more structured than moonstone or opal, but each stone still carries something unique. From subtle differences in hue to the way it reflects light when cut into different shapes, no two stones are the same.

We use custom cuts, from elegant ovals to emerald and pear shapes, to bring out the personality of every gem. Whether set as a bold solitaire or a part of a cluster ring, topaz adapts beautifully to different styles. The rich blues pair naturally with white gold and diamonds, while the golden and peach tones shine in warm yellow gold settings.

ALL THE MANY SHAPES

Topaz is a versatile gemstone that works well in a wide range of jewelry styles. Its durability and clarity make it suitable for everything from minimalist bands to vintage-inspired settings and multi-stone designs. Blue, white, and Imperial topaz are commonly cut into shapes like oval, kite, pear, and baguette, depending on the intended design and overall look.

Because of its range of tones and clean transparency, topaz also pairs well with other gemstones. It’s often used alongside diamonds, white sapphires, aquamarines, or moonstones, creating contrast or harmony in both classic and modern arrangements.

HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR TOPAZ JEWELRY

To keep your topaz jewelry in beautiful condition, be mindful of a few simple care steps. Topaz is a hard stone, but it can still chip if struck sharply, so always remove it before doing any heavy work or exercising. Avoid contact with harsh chemicals, cleaning agents, or high heat.

For cleaning, use mild dish soap and warm water. Soak your piece for a few minutes and gently clean it with a soft cloth or brush. Rinse it off and dry with a clean, soft cloth. Store it in a jewelry box or pouch, away from harder stones like diamonds, to prevent scratching.
