Our Latest Obsession: Blue Topaz Rings!
Marianne 20 Mar 2020 22691 Blue topaz rings are the latest trend to take the fashion scene by storm. Blue, breathtaking and beautiful, these deep blue rings definitely embody that all-important sparkle. Whether you prefer your ring with a striking standalone stone or love the idea of your gem accessorized with dazzling encrusted diamonds, the blue topaz ring is here to stay!
What does a blue topaz look like?
This flawless gem in its purest form starts off life as a white topaz. The impurities within the stone are then what allows it to transform from a white color to a deep blue. To explain simply, the level of chromium and iron in a topaz stone determines its color, which allows the color of the gemstone to change from white to blue. This transformation takes place by putting the white stone through intense heat and irradiation, turning it into a beautiful blue topaz. Clever isn’t it? It is, however, important to point out that sometimes you can uncover a pale blue topaz in its original form. They are very rare (and usually very expensive to buy!). Either way, if you’re lucky enough to find one of these rare beauties in its original pale blue form or own a topaz stone that has been transformed from white to blue; you’ll be very pleased with your purchase.
Interestingly, the blue topaz comes in a selection of shades – cool Swiss blue,, baby Swiss, pale sky blue and deep London blue. One thing’s for sure, we can guarantee you’ll have no problem picking out your favorite amongst this star-studded selection.
The meaning of a blue topaz ring
On a deeper note, wearing a gemstone ring like the blue topaz is known for helping to fight off negative and chaotic ores and channel more relaxed energy. These powerful stones can also calm your nerves and heel some unlucky feelings of hurt, making them very good for you. The stone is also commonly known to evoke images of the water, wind, and sky.
When worn, this delicate piece of sparkle can create a space of quiet and calm for its owner. Allure and intuition is what we like!

Frequently asked questions about Blue Topaz Rings
How much should I spend on a blue topaz ring?
As you may have already noticed from our top 10 list, these beautiful pieces of jewelry can vary in price from low, medium to high. The price is not only impacted by the size of the stone but also the tone of the bluestone and the number of sparkling diamonds that frame your gorgeous gem. The reason that you are buying your lovely ring will also play a part in how much you want to spend. Your ring may be given as an engagement ring, a special birthday present or simply gift to yourself (we all deserve a treat every now and again!). Either way, the price of your ring will ultimately come down to how much you’re willing to pay for it and that decision is something only you can make!
Will I have a choice in color tone when buying on?
Yes, that’s one of the things we love about the blue topaz stone. You can choose from three different tones. These tones are:
1. The cool Swiss blue tone which is a light blue color, sometimes compared to that of a mid-afternoon sky on a clear day
2. The London blue stone, known for being the darkest blue gem out of the three
3. The Pale sky blue (the name speaks for itself when it comes to a description!)
So if you’re deciding on the tone of your blue topaz ring, it really does come down personal preference!
How do I assess the quality of blue topaz rings?
At present, there is no grading method for checking the quality and value of your stone. Gemmologists alike do however suggest evaluating the different blue topaz stones individually. This evaluation is done by assessing the cut, color, clarity and carat weight. To avoid any confusion the word ‘clarity’ in this context refers to what the stone does or doesn’t have.
The variety of inclusions within the stone and how they may affect it is important (so in layman terms if a stone has a ‘high clarity’ it is free of inclusions). This is a good thing and means it is placed in the highest clarity level for a gemstone. In the order of importance, we suggest you look at clarity first, followed by the cut and vibrancy of the color. So if you’re spending a lot of money on your precious gemstone it’s important to do your research, take your time with buying and purchase from a reputable seller.
Where does the word topaz come from?
Interestingly, the word topaz originates from Topazos, an ancient island located in the Red Sea.
Is there anything I need to be aware of when wearing my new ring?
A blue topaz ring is more susceptible to fractures and scratches. Why? Because it has a perfect cleavage which means if it receives a hard knock from the side your beautiful topaz gemstone could break in two along the cleavage line. That’s why it’s so important to look after your precious ring and place it somewhere safe to avoid getting damaged.
What’s the best way to clean my blue topaz rings?
The best way to clean your blue topaz ring is by using a soft toothbrush or cloth along with a diluted mixture of water and dishwashing liquid. The technique is then to soak your ring in the solution for between ten to twenty minutes. Once soaked, you can then very carefully scrub your ring with a soft toothbrush. Take note to avoid using harsh cleaning solutions and don’t use any mechanical or ultrasonic cleaners. Happy cleaning!
