The Allure of Blue Topaz
Blue topaz, particularly London Blue and Swiss Blue, is beloved for its versatility. Its calming hue works equally well for everyday jewelry or as the centerpiece in a blue topaz and diamond ring. When framed with pavé diamonds, the contrast elevates its sparkle, making it a sophisticated yet approachable choice.
