Frequently asked questions
-
Is London blue topaz durable for everyday jewelry?
Yes. Topaz scores an 8 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it harder than quartz, garnet, and amethyst. It is well suited for daily wear. Bezel settings are recommended for rings because topaz has one direction of perfect cleavage.
-
Does London blue topaz look better in gold or silver?
Both work beautifully. 14K yellow gold creates a warm contrast that highlights the stone's cool teal depth. Sterling silver and white gold offer a modern, monochromatic look. Rose gold adds a romantic warmth. All options are available at Erin Gallagher Jewelry.
-
What are the three types of blue topaz?
The three recognized shades are Sky Blue (the lightest and most pastel), Swiss Blue (bright, vivid blue), and London Blue (the deepest and most saturated, with a teal-navy tone). London Blue is the darkest and most sought-after variety.
