Sky Blue Topaz
- Grading: VVS
- Design: ““Blue Star” by Jeff R. Graham

According to a well-known gem and jewelry industry magazine, “Colored Stone”, since the early 2000s, blue topaz has become the second most popular gemstone in the world (sapphire is consistently number one). Topaz popularity is certainly not surprising. Topaz is a very hard material - 8 on the Mohs hardness scale - and blue topaz is a very pretty stone that is available in a wide range of vivid hues with a striking vitreous luster. All Swiss Blue Topaz has started off as a white (colorless) Topaz and then been exposed to neutrons in a linear reactor or electrons in an electron accelerator as well as heated to produce the Swiss Blue color. It is held in secure facility for up to 2 years to ensure there is no residual radioactivity and then released. Completely safe and colorfast and industry standard.
*CARE (Topaz)*
It’s important to avoid steam or ultrasound for cleaning topaz: Warm, soapy water works best. When it comes time to clean your Topaz, do not use any special jewelry cleaners as they contain chemicals and acids often too harsh for this stone.
*CLARITY CHART*
IF – Internally flawless; free of inclusions
VVS – Very, very slight inclusions; microscopic inclusions barely seen under a loupe with 10x magnification
VS – Very Slight inclusions; visible inclusions that can be seen under magnification and sometimes also with the unaided eye.
SI – Small inclusions; inclusions that are obvious under magnification and to the unaided eye.
I – Heavy or large inclusions obvious to the naked eye
I work exclusively with a precision machine when faceting gemstones. This allows extra brilliance and appeals only seen in precision cut gems. Gemstones are cut at their correct refractive index using digital precision, this facilitates making the correct facet angles allowing the maximum amount of light to enter and reflect back up through the table. This allows optimum brilliance according to each gemstone’s individual refractive index. Special care in polishing ensures that the faceted gem is showcased in all its brilliance. The introduction of precision faceting machines has revolutionized the art of gem cutting allowing the gem cutter to unveil the inner beauty of every single gemstone like it has never been done before. The cut of a gem is one of the main values of a gemstone and each gemstone requires special attention in order to unveil its potential beauty. If you’re looking for that extra special stone, I hope you find it here. Sincerely, Doug

Why are users outbidding themselves?
When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a user is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on that users behalf, incrementally increasing the bid to maintain their position as the highest bidder, up to the specified maximum.
When there is an icon indicating 'Auto Bid,' it means our system is actively placing bids for the user based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if users are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the users maximum limit.
