Topaz comes in a wide range of colours from colourless and pale yellow to pink, orange, red, brown, violet, blue and green.

The rarest and most expensive topaz colour ranges from golden yellow to pink-orange, known as Imperial Topaz or Precious Topaz.

The most popular colour of topaz is blue, including any shade from pale blue to deep blue. However, blue topaz is extremely rare in nature, and nearly all blue topaz available on the market is the result of heat treatment and irradiation. The most sought-after blue shades are lightly coloured “Swiss Blue” and darker “London Blue”.

Other less known topaz colours are honeyed brown “Sherry Topaz”, colourless “Silver Topaz” and “White Topaz”, as well as gems with artificially produced rainbow effects known as “Azotic Topaz” and “Mystic Topaz”.

The colour evaluation of topaz has three main components: hue, saturation and tone. The hue is the main colour of the stone, and it can be red, yellow, blue, etc. There can also be a secondary hue such as gold, orange, green, violet, etc., meaning a topaz can be described as greenish-yellow, for example. Saturation describes the intensity of the colour. Finally, tone defines how light or dark the colour is. For example, the London Blue Topaz may be described as a very dark blue topaz.

Concave Cutting Amethyst 💎💜
Concave Cutting Amethyst 💎💜

Concave cutting is a gemstone cutting technique that involves carving multiple, small, rounded facets into the surface of the gemstone, creating a concave or inwardly curved effect. This technique can enhance the brilliance and visual appeal of the gemstone by increasing the number of reflective surfaces. When applied to amethyst, it can result in a unique and captivating appearance.

Madeira Citrine
Madeira Citrine

Madeira Citrine Madeira citrine is a variety of citrine, which is a yellow to brownish-orange variety of quartz. What distinguishes Madeira citrine from other types of citrine is its rich and warm reddish-brown color, reminiscent of the color of the fortified wine produced on the Portuguese island of Madeira. The name "Madeira" is derived from the Portuguese word for wood, and it reflects the deep, woody hues characteristic of this gemstone. Citrine itself is often valued for its warm and vibrant colors, and it is a popular gemstone for jewelry. The color of citrine is typically a result of trace amounts of iron within the quartz crystal structure. Heat treatment is sometimes applied to amethyst (another variety of quartz) to produce the warm tones of citrine. Madeira citrine is used in various forms of jewelry, including rings, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets. Its warm and inviting color makes it a favorite for both traditional and contemporary designs. As with any gemstone, the value of Madeira citrine is influenced by factors such as color, clarity, cut, and carat weight. When purchasing gemstones, it's advisable to buy from reputable sources and inquire about any treatments or enhancements the stones may have undergone. Additionally, consider the 4 Cs (color, clarity, cut, and carat weight) to assess the overall quality of the gemstone.
