10 Top Blue Topaz Earrings – Will it be London or Swiss Topaz?
In this article, we’ll explore a gemstone choice that is garnering increasing attention and popularity among bridal and non-bridal looks alike: blue topaz earrings.
When it comes to your wedding day the choices are almost endless for earrings — pearls, diamonds, gold, silver and every gemstone under the sun. If you have found yourself in an overwhelming predicament of decisions and a limited timeframe to put it all together, don’t fret.
Why Something Blue?
“Something Blue” was a concept derived from the old English rhyme “Something olde, something new, something borrowed something blue, a sixpence in your shoe”. These four objects were said to bring good fortune.
Traditionally, brides often wore a blue garter belt and in ancient Roman times, brides wore blue to symbolize love, purity, and fidelity. Nowadays brides have updated old traditions to incorporate blue into their jewelry, flowers, nails, and shoes.
I love the concept of adding little hints of blue into a bridal look through earrings. Blue topaz is a gorgeous gemstone that can be worn on your wedding day, an also after. This versatile gemstone is a reasonably priced alternative to diamonds that should be added to your permanent jewelry collection!
The cherry on top? It looks as stunning with a wedding dress just as it does with a pair of jeans, heels, or a work blazer.
Different Shades of Blue Topaz
You may have noticed that there are different varieties and colors of topaz, and also different classifications of blue topaz.
Natural blue topaz is now quite rare. Most of the topaz used in jewelry is created through a gemstone treatment. Radiation and heat are applied to change a more clear or brown topaz into a beautiful blue shade.
The two predominant colors of blue topaz are “London” and “Swiss” blue. What’s the difference?
Swiss blue is a lighter tone with lighter saturation, while London blue is a darker, rich hue of blue with a darker saturation. London blue tends to be priced just slightly higher than Swiss blue and is currently the more popular color of topaz on the market today. Your choice will depend on your color preference and budget.
How to Wear
Consider first if you wish to make a statement or if you prefer a more subtle yet classic look. If you go big with your jewelry, you may wish to choose a set of earrings with larger, bold topaz stones as well as other gemstones intermixed.
If you prefer a classic, subtle style, choose a smaller stud earring or a delicate set of hoops or huggie earrings. These work well with nearly any hairstyle and won’t take away from anything around your neck and shoulders.
Whatever your bridal style, blue topaz earrings will bring that perfect pop of blue (and good luck!) into your look.
