Earrings Set With Topaz Gemstones

Topaz Birthstones and Anniversaries

Topaz is so versatile it has the honor of representing two months in the birthstone collection.

For those born in November, Imperial or Precious Topaz is the stone of choice. This coloration of topaz ranges from a rich yellow to a medium peachy-orange in color. The name Imperial comes from the stones of the more pink-orange and pink varieties, which were highly prized by the 18th- and 19th-century Russian Czars. These stones are also called Precious because they are some of the rarest topaz hues to occur in nature and also symbolize a strong friendship.

Blue topaz, found in hues called London, Swiss, and Sky Blue, represent those born in December. Sky Blue is the lightest and London a deep medium-dark blue, all make brilliant jewelry. In the past, these gems were said to promote truth, forgiveness, and confidence in fulfilling goals—all excellent qualities as we celebrate those born in the month that closes out one year and brings excitement for the one to come.

Blue Topaz, marking the fourth wedding anniversary, and Imperial (or Precious) topaz traditionally given on the twenty-third, are two ways we use the precious gemstone, the topaz, to celebrate special occasions.

Why Topaz Earrings?

The first feature people notice about us is our face. Whether you have pierced ears or not, topaz earrings frame your face and bring a hint of sparkle to the first feature people will see when meeting you.

While the most popular colors used are white and blue, topaz comes in various hues to match the personality and mood of the ensemble of the moment. They pair well with all sorts of other gemstones and materials to create masterpieces that are sure to get noticed for all the right reasons. Because they have a high mark on the hardness scale, they can be set to catch the light in a myriad of ways as they adorn the ears. Blue topaz enhances nearly any skin tone and looks beautiful on almost any wearer.

They make wonderful gifts to mark special occasions, especially if they have a November or December birthday. Topaz also can be used in place of more expensive stones to have the same look for a more affordable price. Whether they are a friend or a loved one, the beauty of these stones won't break the bank, so you can treat the person to a lasting gift of quality.
