Topaz is a gemstone that often surprises people. While it's sometimes seen as a more “traditional” stone, its depth, versatility, and quiet beauty make it anything but ordinary. With colors that range from pale sky blue to deep inky teal, warm honey yellows, and even peachy pinks, Topaz has a way of reflecting the emotion of a piece — calm, grounded, or vibrant.
What I love most about Topaz is its honesty. It doesn’t overwhelm with flash or trend, but carries a clarity and strength that speaks more softly — and more lastingly.
A RICH VARIETY OF COLORS
Topaz is best known in its blue and golden tones, each with its own mood and meaning:
London Blue Topaz has a striking, moody depth — a darker, almost denim-like shade that feels refined and steady. It’s often chosen for its richness and modern feel, and pairs beautifully with warm gold for a grounded, elegant look.
Sky Blue and Swiss Blue Topaz offer a brighter, more open tone — crisp, uplifting, and clear. These are stones that reflect a fresh energy, almost like clear skies after a storm.
Yellow Topaz brings warmth and light — a golden, almost honey-like hue that’s been prized since ancient times. Historically, it was believed to attract abundance and protect against fear. It feels especially at home in vintage-inspired settings and autumnal palettes.
Each variety of Topaz has its own energy, and choosing between them often comes down to what resonates with your personality and mood. There’s no one-size-fits-all answer — and that’s the beauty of it.
STRENGTH, CLARITY, AND HISTORY
Topaz has been worn and admired for centuries. In ancient Egypt, it was believed to carry the energy of the sun god Ra, offering strength and vitality. In other cultures, it was thought to promote clear thinking and protect the wearer from negative energy.
Today, Topaz is still appreciated for its symbolism of clarity, confidence, and truth. It’s a stone that supports self-expression, emotional balance, and calm focus — making it a thoughtful choice for everyday wear or as a meaningful gift.
In terms of structure, Topaz is a durable gemstone, ranking 8 on the Mohs scale — strong enough for regular wear when set thoughtfully. I always recommend removing any fine jewelry before activities that could result in hard impacts or exposure to chemicals, just to ensure your stones stay protected over time.
WHY I CHOOSE TOPAZ
When I work with Topaz, I’m drawn to its balance — the way it offers color and presence without feeling overdone. Each piece I create with Topaz is designed to let the stone speak for itself, whether it's a bold London Blue or a soft yellow set in recycled gold.
I select each stone individually, looking for those subtle details — a particular glow, a calm depth, a clean cut that reflects light just right. These are the kinds of pieces meant to be worn with intention, not just occasion.
