Imperial Topaz and White Topaz Pendant

A 33 x 14 mm pendant crafted in rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver, featuring a large, faceted, teardrop-cut imperial topaz (16 x 13 mm) flanked by three white topazes, each 8 x 5 mm, cut in the same style. The striking imperial topaz is prong-set on a double gallery with openwork details that allow light to filter through, adding elegance and distinction. Between this topaz and the bail are the three white topazes, connecting the two and adding movement and brilliance.

White Topaz:

Topaz is an aluminum silicate. It is often used as a substitute for diamonds because of its use as a gemstone and its variety of colors. The central "diamond" of the Portuguese crown is a topaz, although of course no one is going to say so; it's an open secret.

Origin: Pakistan.

Properties: It is an ideal gem for sensitive and vulnerable people. It helps to balance the nervous system.

Sign: Gemini, Leo, Libra, Scorpio.

Imperial Topaz:

The designation "Imperial" for this type of topaz originated in Russia, the location of the first fields, now depleted, during the Tsarist period. Imperial topaz was considered the stone of the sun.

Its reddish-orange color is due to traces of chromium, iron, manganese, titanium, and vanadium. Topazes are valued according to their color. From least to most valuable, they are yellow, orange, red, pink, cherry, lilac, and salmon, which is the most expensive and valuable.

Origin: Pakistan. Properties: Stimulates the ambition for fame and recognition, makes us feel proud and confident in ourselves.
