Topaz - A stone in all it's regal splendour

 

Topaz makes an ideal gem. The most valuable colors of Topaz are the golden orange-yellow type, called Imperial Topaz, and the dark pinkish-red and orange-red colors. The picture below shows the ornge-yellow Topaz. The stone has been framed in a traditional german-silver frame and strung in two lines of matching topaz stones. Two Lapis Lazuli stones have been utilised to break the monotony of yellow Topaz.


 
 
 
The Topaz pendant can also be strung in contrast colored stones of black, green, royal blue. The flaming orange set against contrast colored stones would make for an interesting piece.
 
 
A close look at the pendant will show that the Topaz stone has been cut into half (length-wise)  and the top has been polished to give it a finished look. This raw-edged look gives the entire neckpiece an artistic twist with an eye-catching, hard to miss effect by the person wearing it.
 
 
It is my continuous effort to create pieces which are in rare color combinations, designs and those which give that extra edge of style.
