Topaz Gemstones

Topaz Gems Description:

Topaz is a tremendous blue-colored, semi-precious gemstone from the Topaz mineral family. The name Topaz comes from the Sanskrit word tapas, meaning fire. Topaz occurs in various colors: red, pink, purple, yellow, orange, brown, blue, green, and colorless. Topaz is a jeweler's favorite and is used in jewelry: rings, earrings, necklaces, pendants, and bracelets because of its various colors. Topaz is a symbol of passion and affection and has been said to help one's sweetness and disposition. Well-known topaz deposits are located in Afghanistan, Brazil, China, Myanmar, Pakistan, Russia, Sri Lanka, and the USA.

Topaz Color:

The intensity of the color is of primary concern when it comes to topaz’s actual value, and the rareness of a particular hue, especially in untreated form, is key. All other things being aside, treated stones in shades of blue are the most common while pink and intense yellows are the rarest, demanding high prices. Antique topaz tends to have shades of brown, which were more common before the introduction of heat treatment, a method by which colorless stones are changed to shades of blue. Swiss Blue, Sky Blue, and London Blue Topaz all have shades of blue produced by heat treatment, with London blue being the more valuable. Recently colorless topaz has been used in jewelry because its lower cost makes it attractive even though it does not have as strong a visual impact as other ‘colored’ versions of the stone. Browse our wide range of new collections of Scapolite and Iolite, and we are providing at low prices with free delivery worldwide.

Topaz Clarity:

Natural Topaz Stone is one of the rare gemstones which can usually be found eye clean, meaning without ‘inclusions’ in the stone that can be seen by the naked eye. If the clarity is weak, the stone tends to look milky and opaque. These types of heavily included topaz will probably be used as beads in less expensive jewelry; it is the really clear topaz that is fashioned into more expensive jewelry.

Topaz Cut:

Because topaz crystals are usually columnar or elongated, they’re often cut as long pear or oval shapes to improve yield. If the rough is richly colored, the cutter often chooses the emerald cut because this cutting form maximizes color and preserves the most weight. It is cut in a wide variety of shapes and forms. Production includes all the standard shapes such as ovals, pears, rounds, cushions, triangles, marquise, emerald cuts as well as designer-inspired fantasy shapes. Natural Cutting styles are also well represented. Step cuts with concentric rows of identical facets, Brilliant cuts with triangular and kite-shaped facets, and mixed cuts usually consisting of step-cut pavilions and brilliant-cut crowns are all very common.

Topaz Carat:

Conventional topaz cuts for the jewelry industry include a wide variety of shapes and sizes. The gem is reasonable in smaller sizes, but prices rise for gems above ten carats.
