Imperial Topaz is the most prized and scarce variety of all topaz: its intense golden-orange color with pink undertones sets it apart from any other gem on the market. Sourced primarily from Ouro Preto, Brazil, Imperial Topaz is classified as a top-tier gemstone alongside ruby, emerald, and sapphire.
Its name "Imperial" is no coincidence: it was historically the favorite stone of the Russian royal family and European nobility, who considered it a symbol of power, success, and solar wealth.
