Topaz Gemstones Set in Sterling Silver Jewelry
Is My Topaz Real?
Topaz is classified by its base composition of silicate aluminum and fluorine. From there, other minerals come into the formation process and create a wide variety of colors. Topaz can be anywhere from white (its purest state) to deep wine red and nearly any color in between. Therefore, the topaz can easily be mistaken for other gemstones. However, its diversity of color allows you to have a rainbow of choices in your jewelry collection.
Their value is partly determined by their color, and since the variety is so wide, other less valuable stones or even glass creations can easily be substituted for the more precious, expensive gemstones. Not everyone has the ability to test a gemstone for its chemical composition, so be to purchase your jewelry from a reputable dealer. Certified gemologists can guarantee the authenticity of your jewelry, especially your topaz gemstones.
Why Sterling Silver for Topaz?
Sterling silver brings out the color of each piece of topaz in the jewelry creation, and since topaz holds the meaning of a gentle nature, silver is the best way to emulate that meaning. It gently wraps itself around the stone and allows its colors to shine brightly. Collections of different gemstones live harmoniously in silver settings because the silver takes a backseat to the sparkling hues and allows each one to shine equally.
