Find Topaz Jewelry

Click here to browse Topaz Jewelry

Topaz is a stone associated with the sun by ancient cultures such as Romans and Egyptians due to their brilliant yellow to yellow orange color. The Greeks believed this gem enhanced strength, and others thought the gem broght protection from harm and spells.

Topaz is the birthstone for November, and is available in almost every color imaginable. Clear topaz is often treated to create dazzling multicolor gemstones such as the mystic fire and blue tavalite.

Topaz gems are relatively hard, measuring 8 on the Mohs scale. But they can be cut by a single blow, similar to the diamond. When shopping for topaz jewelry, color and clarity are the most important factors. Remember to look for ones that are bright and vibrant with high transparency. Be careful not to confuse it with the citrine, which is very similar in appearance but much more common and less expensive.
