Topaz

The deep, lustrous tones of London Blue Topaz and the glistening clarity of White Topaz display the stone’s ethereal effervescence. Topaz’s natural brilliance in many ways makes it the perfect gem for colored gemstone jewelry. “Of all the blue topaz, London blue is the prettiest hue” Kar declares. “I’m a lover of water so this again reminds me of the sea. Not as dark as a sapphire, but much more saturated than any other blue topaz varieties.
