People have enjoyed jewelry throughout history. It has been given as gifts and as a symbol of relationships. It is not only a beautiful accessory, it helps identify a person. Jewelry can be a very expensive investment so making a wise decision on your jewelry purchase is important to make sure the jewelry is of a good quality and (most importantly) that the recipient is happy.

How to select diamonds

When you’re selecting diamonds there are four things that diamonds are measured on. These are called the 4 C’s of diamonds:

Cut. This refers to the shape of the diamond, which will determine how much it sparkles when the light hits it.
Carat. This is how big the diamond is.
Clarity. This measures how clear the diamond is. That is, if it has flaws (called inclusions) or not.
Color. This is the measurement of how white or yellow a diamond is.

Caring for your jewelry

Taking care of your jewelry is just as important as the decisions you made when you went to purchase it. For example, be sure to keep it clean as dirt will gouge the jewelry. Clean it very carefully with a soft cloth, or get it professionally cleaned at a jewelry store. Having clean jewelry is very important for its longevity but also, since jewelry is often worn on some of the most sensitive parts of the body, dirty jewelry can cause irritation.

Keeping your jewelry safe

Store your jewelry in a safe place. For example, you may want to buy a safe, or utilize a hidden safe which looks like a household product (like a soda can or a jar of cleaner) but has a secret compartment which thieves might not be likely to look in. Or, if you are jewelry is highly valued, you may want to even keep it in a security box at a bank.

Jewelry is an important investment in style and in your relationship! Buying jewelry wisely and keeping it clean and well maintained will help it hold its beauty and value for your lifetime and allow it to be a legacy to your children.

Blue Topaz has become one of the most popular gemstone on the market today, because of its clarity, durability, availability and affordable cost. Yet, it is a shade of Topaz rarely found in nature. The stone’s watery blue color is most often created through a combination of heat treatment and irradiation.

Topaz is one of the well known pegmatite minerals that also includes beryl and tourmaline. Blue Topaz is the birth stone for month of December and is also recommended gemstone for couples celebrating their 4th wedding anniversary.

Blue Topaz has a definite, uniform color ranging from sky blue to Swiss blue. It is sometimes confused with the more costly Aquamarine, yet whereas Aquamarine sometimes has a greenish blue or bluish green tint, Blue Topaz will always look blue or bluish gray. The one exception is for surface enhanced Topaz, a process introduced in 1998 that enhances the stone’s appearance and brings out colors such as blue to greenish to emerald green.

Most Blue Topaz starts life as a colorless or slightly tinted Topaz from places like Brazil, Mexico, Nigeria, Sri Lanka, and china. It is then irradiated, to incite the color change, and heated, to stabilize the change. The result is a permanent Aqua shade. To get deep blue color out of Topaz, treaters use neutron bombardment in a nuclear reactor and market the final product under the name “London Blue” Topaz. In fact, neutron bombardment is the only means by which to produce smaller calibrated stones with deep blue color.

Despite the stone’s exposer to irradiation, expert say it poses no health hazard whatsoever to the wearer.
In addition to blue, the stone comes in a variety of colors, including golden yellow, orange yellow, reddish orange, sherry red, deep pink, honey brown, light green, and many shades in between.

Topaz holds the distinction of being the gemstone thought to have the wildest rage of curative powers. According to legend, the stone can dispel enchantment and improve the eyesight. The ancient Greeks believed that it had the power to increase strength and make its wearer invisible in times of emergency. Topaz is also said to change color in the presence of poisoned food or drink. Throughout history, different cultures have believed that the stone could cure insomnia, asthma and hemorrhages; bring friendship; promote patience and a pleasant disposition, and ensure fidelity. To the ancients, it was also a symbol of love and affection and was even thought to ward off sudden death.

With A ranking of 8 on the Mohs scale of hardness, Blue Topaz is exceptionally strong and durable and well suited to everyday wear. However, it should be protected against hard blows that can split, crack or chip it.
