Before the cut
From rough stone to custom jewelry
Topaz rough forms as long crystals, most often in sky blue. We cut it into stones that stay bright every day. Tell us if topaz caught your eye and we will start your design.
What to look for
Red is under half a percent of the finds. Imperial topaz is highly prized and very rare.
Blue topaz is almost always eye clean. Rarer colors can show more.
Blue topaz is almost always treated, starting colorless then irradiated plus heated. Some metallic colors are surface coatings.
Blue topaz costs little more in large sizes. Rare colors climb fast.
