unique precious and semi-precious gemstone engagement rings and birthstone promise rings,
most of which are exclusively sold here.
Blue topaz: topaz was once believed to bring wisdom, honor, and wealth to those who own the gemstone. topaz
has protected travelers from harm and stimulated spiritual growth. Since topaz has a high refractive index, its sparkle is similar to that of a fine diamond.
topaz is the December birthstone and rates 6 to 6 1/2 on the Mohs scale of hardness.
Enhancements: Although cutting is the most basic enhancement method
necessary to display the beauty of a gemstone, there are many fascinating methods by which man has demonstrated his ability to draw maximum color, luster,
clarity and brilliance from nature's earthbound treasures. A basic understanding of these enhancement techniques will add to your appreciation of the beauty,
durability and value of the gemstone jewelry you already own, or plan to purchase in the
future. Most blue topaz is heated and chemically treated to bring out the vibrant blue
color. This treatment is substantially permanent and is acceptable in the trade.
You should assume that the blue topaz sold at MyJewelrySource is treated unless stated otherwise.
Blue topaz Care: Do not use an
ultrasonic cleaner on your blue topaz jewelry. Avoid sudden temperature
changes, steaming and contact with cosmetics, hairspray, perfume or household chemicals. Your
blue topaz jewelry may be
cleaned with a soft-bristled brush or a cloth with plain or soapy water |
