First, A Brief History Lesson Is In Order.
Blue topaz, in case you didn’t know, comes in not one, but three gorgeous shades.
1) Sky Blue
Often compared to aquamarines because of their bright blue hue.
2) Swiss Blue
They have a slightly darker shade and a moderate to good saturation level.
3) London Blue
This deep bluish-green shade is one of the most sought after.
Natural blue topazes are extremely rare, so keep this in mind. Moreover, they tend to be very pale in color and lack a good degree of saturation. Colorless or light blue topaz that has been heated and/or irradiated to achieve the desired hue is the most common type of topaz found in the market today.
Don’t Miss These Helpful Hints!
1. Pay Attention To Storage
The mineral hardness scale gives the blue topaz an 8 out of ten, making it a tough gem. However, it is not indestructible and can be scratched by a harder jewel (like the diamond, for example). In addition, prolonged exposure to light can cause dullness.
Store your blue topaz accessory away from your other gemstones and accessories in a velvet-lined case to avoid the aforementioned problems.
2. Wear With Care
Topaz has the perfect cleavage, which means that it is prone to cracking or fracturing if hit hard enough. To avoid this, put your jewelry in a safe place while you clean, exercise, garden, swim, or cook.
In addition, everyday products like perfumes, cosmetics, and cleaning supplies contain chemicals that can eat away at the gem’s outer layer and weaken its structural integrity. So, be sure to keep this precious gem out of harm’s way.
Wear your blue topaz jewelry before you leave the house and take it off as soon as you arrive back. As a result, the gemstone will be protected from potentially harmful chemicals found in your perfume, hairspray, and other personal care products.
3. Do-It-Yourself Cleaning
Our recommendation is that this jewel be thoroughly cleaned whenever it begins to lose its sparkle. Performing this task at home is simple if you stick to the directions listed below.
Submerge your accessory for a few seconds in a mild soap-water solution to loosen dirt from its surface.
After that, use a soft cloth to gently wipe the gemstone clean. You should pay particular focus on the pieces’ edges, as this is where dirt and grime tends to accumulate the most.
To remove any soap residue, rinse the jewelry item under running water.
Clean and dry the piece with a lint-free, soft cloth.
The blue topaz is a must-have gemstone because it symbolizes both love and success. And now that you’ve learned how to care for it, we’re confident that your jewelry will continue to sparkle for many years.
