Discover the Blue Topaz history, properties and jewellery with C W Sellors this November.
History of Blue Topaz
The Middle Ages witnessed the Topaz stone as a prized and rare stone, whilst often being referred to as the stone of the apocalypse. The stone's popularity soared during the 18th-century gold rush, with Brazilian Topaz gaining immense admiration amongst the European aristocracy. Present in royalty, the Portuguese Royal crown featured the Braganza Topaz, allowing royal connections to the gemstone.
Furthermore, with Topaz’s royal collections, Catherine Middleton has been seen wearing a pair of blue topaz and diamond drop earrings on social occasions and has increased her blue topaz jewellery collection since to enhance her lavish ensembles. Hollywood celebrities also are seen adorned with the cool blue jewels, famously worn by Cate Blanchett, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, and Jennifer Lopez at award ceremonies.
Mined throughout the globe, Topaz can be found in USA, Russia, Mexico and Brazil. Most of the Topaz production in Brazil is still carried out by artisanal miners alongside restrictions on mining, meaning the stone must be extracted with the utmost care and special attention to the mine and the environment.
Properties of Blue Topaz
Topaz is a silicate of fluorine and aluminium which can be found in a variety of colours, boasting an 8 on the Mohs scale which is harder than tanzanite and 1 below sapphire, allowing for a hard-wearing stone. When the gemstone is faceted for a jewellery piece, the sone takes a beautiful high polish for a smooth and sleek aesthetic with maximum sparkle.
