Blue Topaz Ring – New Design

Topaz is a chameleon of a stone, with a myriad of different colors and uses in jewelry. It is the birthstone for women and men born in November – which is lucky for you, as it gives you an enormous range of options to choose the perfect birthday gift from! It comes in colors from blue, to teal, to green, pink and orange, and can be used in both women’s and men’s jewelry. Here we look at some of the favorite, and more unusual pieces of topaz jewelry for November birthdays.

Topaz without any impurities is actually clear – however, the added minerals that cause a blue or pink color are actually more sought after than the clear variety. It is usually wine yellow or straw colored when found in nature, but when found in stylish and sexy jewelry, it is usually much brighter! Topaz is quite hard, coming in at 8 out of 10 on the Mohs scale – diamond is 10. Clear topazes as big as boulders, weighing hundreds of pounds, have been found in Brazil, and the blue topaz is the state gem of Texas, with a signature ‘Lone Star’ cut which shows a star in the center of the gem. Topazes are fragile, and need to be handled with care when being cut and set – perhaps like the person you are buying for this November!

The topaz ring shown at the start of the article is actually one of our new products in store this month. With its very distinctive silver belting across the topaz, and the sparkle of five high quality brilliant cut diamonds, it is a truly unique piece of jewelry. The topaz is a huge 9mm, 3.9 carat stone, and yet the ring is actually quite reasonably priced. If you’d like your friend or loved one to be at the cutting edge of jewelry this year, this ring is a great opportunity for that.

For those who like something a little simpler, there is this blue topaz on yellow gold ring shown at right. It is a Signity design, with square cut topazes across the front, and it comes in a slightly more cost effective pink version, which is also shown. There are nine topazes across the front of each ring, with a combined gemstone weight of .95 carats. Both of these rings can be sized locally, meaning that there is no need to spoil the surprise of your gift by asking not so subtle questions about the diameter of your loved one’s finger!

Of course, beautiful as they are, rings are not for everybody – fortunately topazes work well with any type of jewelry. The blue topaz flower earrings shown at right are part of the Pandora jewelry range, with its signature oxidized sterling silver base which gives a lovely mature look. These earrings are extremely budget friendly, and they also come in a gold version, with either wire petals on the flower or solid petals. If you are just as enchanted as we by the look of the oxidized sterling silver though, there is a myriad of matching jewelry pieces to choose from, including different styles of earrings, beads for Pandora bracelets, and rings in both simple and more intricate designs. The drop earrings, better for evening wear, are also shown. If you are interested in the rest of the matching range, you can find it by simply clicking on the product in the post, and re-clicking in the search results.

If you are looking for a gift to highlight a special someone’s lovely decolletage, then topaz pendants are the choice for this November! The rainbow one shown has both blue topaz and sky blue topaz in amongst the array of other stones – amethyst, tourmaline, citrine and peridot. They are set on 9ct yellow gold, making this impressive necklace actually very affordable. Three brilliant cut white diamonds top off the look, and you can choose whichever chain you think will suit your lucky lady best, as this is a stand-alone item.

We did also promise some men’s jewelry with topazes, and although it is actually extremely hard to find, we believe the cufflinks with a topaz-colored cubic zirconia are an excellent substitute! They are set on sterling silver which has been rhodium plated, meaning that you get the softness and cost-effectiveness of silver, without the tarnishing or skin reactions that some have. They have a brilliant cut white diamond in the center of each cufflink for a little extra something special. They feature free shipping across Australia, along with anything else you order at the same time – our gift to you this November!
