Frequently asked questions
-
Is Swiss blue topaz durable for everyday jewelry?
Yes. Topaz scores an 8 on the Mohs hardness scale, harder than quartz, garnet, and amethyst. It handles daily wear well in all jewelry types including rings.
-
Does Swiss blue topaz look better in gold or silver?
Both work beautifully. Yellow gold creates a warm contrast against the cool blue. Sterling silver and white gold offer a crisp, monochromatic look. Rose gold adds romantic warmth. All options are available at Erin Gallagher Jewelry.
-
What are the three types of blue topaz?
Sky Blue (lightest, most pastel), Swiss Blue (bright, vivid blue), and London Blue (deepest teal-navy). All three are topaz (Mohs 8) with the same durability. Swiss Blue is the brightest and most vibrant of the three.
