Blue Topaz Jewellery

A hard and durable stone, topaz is a great gem to wear every day. 

Topaz can be found in a range of colours, and at Michael Hill you can discover a range of beautiful London Blue topaz jewellery. Thanks to its radiant shade of blue, topaz works beautifully with a spectrum of colours and styles. Wear a pair of blue topaz earrings with light, neutral tones to accentuate their gorgeous colour, or style blue topaz rings with minimalist pieces or other gems in similar colour, like amethyst, tanzanite and sapphire jewellery. 

Like all jewellery, blue topaz should be properly maintained in order to protect its stunning colour and lustre. 

Some tips for taking care of your topaz include:

• Taking off blue topaz earrings, necklaces and rings before you perform any strenuous activities, like swimming, exercising or washing dishes

• Clean jewellery at home with a mix of warm water and mild soap, and clean away dirt and grime with a soft-bristled toothbrush 

• Avoid exposing it to chlorine and harsh detergents 

• Take your topaz pieces off at the end of each day, and store your topaz pieces in a velvet box or pouch.

Rating an 8 on the Mohs Hardness Scale, alongside other stones like emerald and morganite, topaz is a strong gemstone that is able to withstand daily wear and tear. 

Despite its resilience, it’s best to take off your blue topaz ring before stepping into the shower to protect it from changes in temperature and exposure to heat. Minimising contact with soaps and lotions will also help maintain the shine of your blue topaz necklace or ring long-term. 

Another way to keep your blue topaz rings and pendants radiant and beautiful over the years is to remove them before applying makeup or skincare products. This ensures your topaz jewellery remains untouched from chemicals and enjoys a beautiful appearance for longer. Regular care and maintenance will also ensure a long and beautiful life for your topaz jewellery. Find out more about caring for topaz and other types of fine jewellery here.

Blue topaz is a stunning choice for an engagement ring. 

Coloured gemstone engagement rings have become increasingly popular over the years, especially for those looking for something bright, bold and unique.  

Topaz engagement rings offer a nice balance between style and practicality, thanks to their strength and accessibility, while at the same time offering a truly unique appearance. A blue topaz can also take a high polish, giving it a much smoother appearance and providing an eye-catching shine. 

Blue topaz is a versatile gem, able to look flattering in a number of cuts. An oval or pear is great for enhancing a blue topaz’s fire and colour. A cushion cut provides extra beauty due to its large facets, while a round cut can highlight a topaz’s immense sparkle. 

When it comes to engagement gems, blue topaz stands out.
