Swiss Blue Topaz

07.17.2015 by Leah //

I’m quite enjoying the chilly December-like weather we are having right now so I decided to feature this jewelry piece I’m actually reserving for December, highlighting that month’s precious gemstone: blue topaz.

Blue topaz comes in various hues of blue: from naturally light to greenish blue to sky blue to ocean blue to royal blue.  But here’s what you should know: deeper the blue color is, the longer the gemstone has been heat treated.  Pure topaz gemstones are originally colorless and transparent, so it’s natural to find treated gemstones to achieve their desired colors.  Thus, when shopping for the right blue topaz gemstones, you only need to look for 2 characteristics:  clarity and flawless quality.

Clarity means that the gemstones should be “eye clean”; there are no visible inclusions whatsoever.  That includes spots, little hairs or crystal growth inside the gemstone.

Flawless quality means that it has the perfect cleavage and devoid of any interior cracks.

Up for sale is still beautiful set of Swiss Blue Topaz gemstones in elegant Asscher cut, highlighted in prong setting and surrounded by equally flawless diamond titos.  Set in 14k white gold and with total carat weight of 25.95, it is no doubt a very good jewelry investment.

That’s the actual ring on my middle finger.  It is big, bold and beautiful!

All jewelry pieces are custom-made.  We use 14k Philippine gold and high-quality gemstones sourced from all over Asia.

    I’ve never been into gems, crystals or jewelry in general so when I come across someone who knows a lot about it…i just find it admirable Here’s to beautiful things!

    Would love a similar ring with matching pendant but in emerald.

    For a while there, I thought naligaw ako and was in a different site. Apparently, you’ve changed your blog look! 😎 It’s refreshing to revamp one’s blog look every once in a while. Although I am partial to the bright colors of your previous theme, this one’s a nice change. Instead of dark wood though, your new look reminds me of dark chocolate and is making me crave for it right now. 😉

      Haha! Natawa ako dun sa dark chocolate, Aggie =)

      Watch out for the story behind the blog’s ‘new look’ hehe! Nothing exciting, but it mirrors my state of mind right now =)

This blog is all about…

I used to love taking pics of food for #foodstagram but now that everything's in takeout boxes, nakakatamad mag-food styling hehe! Anyway, whether it's in fancy plate or takeout box - the food should still taste good. And this one definitely did not disappoint! The souffle pancakes were oh so good, and despite traveling in a box were really soft up to the last bite. Yumyum! #doitforthegram

It was so nice to finally see everyone face to face and have uninterrupted discussions that lasted past 8pm! I get to enjoy free coffee the whole day too. ☕️☕️☕️ Two things I find cute though: everyone now carries a disinfectant spray or alcohol (in every shape and brand), and wears a lanyard for their face mask 😄  #NCRFSDSummit
