Blue topaz jewelry has a lovely, elegant beauty.

By Ryan Narendra

For all the the lucky people born in the month of December, we have the great birthstone of Topaz. I have developed a fascination for topaz after learning that it is my birthstone. Currently, I have a pretty sizable jewelry collection of blue topaz. My favorite is a pair of earrings given to me by my husband on Mother's Day. Although Topaz is fairly cheap, its brilliant shine can compare with precious gemstones.

There are many delightful qualities that I noticed during the process of collecting blue topaz jewelry. With shades ranging from ice blue, to a dark, foggy aquamarine, the birthstone has a wide variety of hues. There are wonderful hues that give a beautiful demonstration of the topaz in this jewelry. The many shades of this color can present a problem when trying to match it when something you want to wear.

The earrings my husband gave me were set with magnificent, icy and clear topaz. A diamond, with a fine cut, would reflect and capture light the same way. It may prove to be quite challenging matching them with another piece. I attempted to coordinate it with a valuable necklace that has a large jewel nestled within two smaller ones. This blue topaz jewelry has deep and rich tones and is not very clear. Being place by the earrings did not show it to it's very best potential.

No matter how much I might have wanted to wear both items, I could not manage to make the combination work. I located different sets in my blue topaz jewelry pile. Matching the earrings with the necklace was difficult. It was difficult since the icy earnings were my favorite.

Being able to pick out precious jewels is a talent. I love the hues and contrast in blue topaz jewelry even though it can be difficult. Expanding my collection would make the challenge easier. - 15252
