Swiss Blue Topaz & Diamond Pendant

Relative to diamonds, blue topaz is rather affordable for jewellery designs, at about 1% the cost per carat of diamonds.

There are three relatively common shades of treated blue topaz used in fine jewellery: swiss, london and sky. Swiss blue topaz is a bright, medium blue, London blue topaz is a dark, saturated blue, and Sky blue topaz is descriptive and generally a light blue. Sky blue is often a natural, rather than treated, shade of blue topaz.

Yes, you can wear blue topaz everyday with care. Blue topaz is a relatively hard stone, at an 8 on the Moh’s scale, just below sapphire at 9, and more durable than tourmaline at a 7.
