This beautiful blue topaz is set in silver. . It is 8mm - about 2 carats - from Brazil. It is eye clean and pretty. It is lighter than the deep blue black ones. It is distinctively London Blue though. This one is size 7 and is Ready To Mail TOMORROW. It has a little blackening - more greying really. LOL
I am more than happy to polish it out to a brilliant shine if you prefer. Just let me know.

It has been ethically mined and cut. It is prong set and has curls of silver surrounding the stone on both sides. The curls are cast.

All metal is recycled/reclaimed .925 (or better) sterling silver. It is conflict free, earth friendly and eco prudent green too. No Guilt! :)

Topaz has long been related to desire and the name is believed to have been derived from the Sanskrit word 'tapas' meaning heat, fire and passion. It is also said to have been derived from the Greek word 'topazos' or 'topazion', meaning “to search.” Topazion was also the name of an island in the Red Sea which today is commonly known as Zebirget or St. John's Island in Egypt.
The Egyptians believed that Topaz would protect them from harm because they believed it was colored by the sun god Ra. The Romans believed in a similar theory and associated Topaz with their sun god, Jupiter.
Topaz has also been Biblically referenced as one of the gemstones used to make the 'Breastplate of Judgement' worn by Aaron.

Blue Topaz was named the state gem of Texas in 1969 when a small deposit of natural pale blue Topaz was found.
