Blue Topaz Gemstone Family  

The Blue Topaz family three different shades of blue: Sky Blue Topaz, Swiss Blue Topaz and London Blue Topaz

Sky blue is very much like aquamarine in its colour range. London blue is a darker blue tone and Swiss blue is the bright, electric, more vivid blue of the three. Blue topaz in all three colours constitutes one of the most popular of gemstones.

Swiss blue is an intense blue colour range that is verily described as vivid, electric or super blue. Some of the most vivid shades of Swiss blue topaz can be compared to the rich colour of the Caribbean Ocean which is very close to the colour of top Brazilian Paraíba tourmaline. It’s no wonder it is so well liked; it is gorgeous and affordable.

Most Swiss blue topaz starts as white or colourless topaz from either Brazil or Sri Lanka. It is then irradiated to activate the intense, stable colour centres that give us that electric, vivid blue colour. Topaz is one of the hardest of all gemstones. With a hardness of 8 on the Mohs scale, it takes a superior polish and gives a beautiful lustre. Flawless by nature, Swiss blue topaz is natural beauty
