Swiss Blue Topaz is the trade name used to describe a vivid medium to medium-dark blue hue of topaz. This gem is a great alternative to aquamarine, offering more intense color at a lower price point—making it an excellent choice for jewelry designers and retailers alike. While blue topaz is popular and plentiful in the jewelry market, naturally occurring blue topaz is actually very rare. Colorless topaz is treated with irradiation and heat to produce the characteristic vivid blue color that makes Swiss Blue Topaz so desirable.
These oval faceted stones are eye-clean with a striking medium to medium-dark blue, and blue topaz holds the distinction of being a birthstone for December. Available in multiple sizes to suit a variety of setting styles and design applications.
