Swiss Blue Topaz Jewelry (Natural)

Natural Swiss Blue Topaz Jewelry: Rings, Necklaces and Earrings

Swiss blue is the brightest blue we sell. It is vivid, electric and slightly tropical, the colour of shallow water over white sand, and it holds that intensity in both daylight and lamplight. Where London blue topaz is dark and serious, Swiss blue is cheerful, which makes it a favourite for summer jewelry and for gifts. The collection includes solitaire and halo rings, pendant necklaces with accent diamonds and earrings, every piece made to order in your chosen metal and gemstone size.

What Makes Swiss Blue Topaz Special

Topaz is an aluminium silicate with a hardness of 8 on the Mohs scale, harder than quartz, garnet and tanzanite, which makes it well suited to rings worn regularly. It does have one direction of perfect cleavage, so settings should shield the edges and sharp knocks are best avoided. Swiss blue is created by irradiating and heating colourless topaz, a permanent and stable treatment used industry wide, producing a saturated mid blue brighter than sky blue and lighter than London blue. Topaz also has a high refractive index for a stone at this price, so well cut pieces sparkle strongly.

Swiss Blue Topaz: The December Birthstone

Blue topaz is a birthstone for December, alongside tanzanite and turquoise, and topaz marks the fourth wedding anniversary. It is linked with Sagittarius and with clarity, friendship and honest communication. Swiss blue is the shade most people picture when they hear blue topaz, so for a December birthday it is the most immediately recognisable choice, and because larger stones are affordable, a generous pendant or cocktail ring is an easy gift to get right.

Swiss Blue Topaz Rings, Necklaces and Earrings

Round and oval brilliants suit Swiss blue best because they maximise light return and keep the colour looking electric. Cushion cuts soften the outline for vintage inspired designs, and emerald cuts give broad, clean flashes that read as tailored. Pear and heart shapes are popular for pendants and gifts. Halo settings of white accent diamonds intensify the blue by contrast, while solitaire settings let a well cut stone carry the piece alone. Studs in Swiss blue topaz are an easy introduction to coloured stone jewelry for someone who normally wears only diamonds, and two stone and infinity designs pair the blue with accent diamonds for anniversaries and birthdays.

Metals, Sizes and Made to Order Craft

Offered in Platinum 950, 14K white gold, 14K yellow gold, 14K rose gold and 925 sterling silver. White metals and silver keep the blue crisp and icy, the most popular choice for this stone. Yellow gold creates a strong warm to cool contrast that makes the blue look even brighter. Rose gold gives a softer, more contemporary pairing. Rings are made in your exact finger size, gemstone sizes are listed on every product page, and each piece is crafted individually after you order.

Caring for Your Swiss Blue Topaz Jewelry

Remove topaz rings before sport, gardening and housework to avoid the knocks that cleavage makes risky. Avoid ultrasonic and steam cleaners, sudden temperature changes and prolonged strong sunlight. Clean with warm water, a drop of mild soap and a soft brush, rinse thoroughly and dry with a lint free cloth. Store pieces in a pouch away from harder stones such as sapphire, moissanite and diamond.
