What Is London Blue Topaz?
Topaz (Al2SiO4(F,OH)2) at ~Mohs 8 with a signature deep teal-navy hue. Natural blue topaz is rare; most London blue is created by irradiating pale or colorless topaz, then gently heating to develop its saturated tone. The enhancement is considered stable in normal wear and is widely accepted in fine jewelry. (We disclose all treatments.)
Color, Quality & Cut
- Color: London blue sits between teal and navy with elegant depth; it photographs beautifully and flatters every skin tone.
- Clarity: topaz is often eye-clean; faceting should look crisp without a “window” in the center.
- Cut: round, oval, emerald-cut, pear, and cushion excel; east–west settings deliver sleek, modern lines.
- Settings: bezels and low prongs protect facet edges and accommodate topaz’s perfect cleavage plane.
Why London Blue Works (Every Day)
- Approachable luxury: dramatic, evening-ready color at a gentler price than many sapphires.
- Versatility: reads polished with denim, knits, silk—solo or layered.
- Gifting: a chic deep-blue option for September-adjacent color stories (traditional September is sapphire; blue topaz is commonly listed for December).
- Conscious by design: recycled precious metals, ethical sourcing, eco-minded packaging.
Design Your Piece
Start with a silhouette—necklace, ring, bracelet, earrings, or charm—then tailor the details. Select recycled 14K yellow/white/rose gold or sterling silver, choose your cut and size, pick chain length or band width, and add engraving where available. Every piece arrives gift-ready.
Care & Cleaning
- Clean: lukewarm water + a drop of mild soap, soft brush, rinse, pat dry.
- Avoid: ultrasonic/steam cleaners, harsh chemicals, high heat, and sharp knocks (topaz has perfect cleavage).
- Store: separately in a soft pouch or lined box; remove rings for heavy workouts or gritty chores.
Where Topaz Is Found
Important sources include Brazil (Minas Gerais), Nigeria, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Mexico, and the USA. The London blue hue is typically achieved through treatment of pale/natural topaz from these regions.
