Firsly we need to understand what blue topaz is and how blue topaz gemstones are derived. Most of the topaz rough gemstone that is mined across the world consists of white topaz. This stone is colorless and transparent. There was a time when topaz rough miners occassionally claimed to find very pale blue topaz in natural form. We have not heard that happening for almost a decade now.
Before we talk about the color shades of blue topaz gems that can be chosen for a gold or sterling silver blue topaz ring, we would like to explain the process used to get blue topaz. Plain white topaz is irradiated and heated to produce shades of blue topaz. The process is very safe and has been developed and researched for at least 4 to 5 decades. Another thing is that this process used to produce blue topaz does not weaken the gemstone in any way. It is also permanent and there is no possibility of the blue stone turning white again.

We would like to explain a little more about the choice of a 14k or 18k mens gold topaz ring. At Kaisilver we provide 14k and 18k gold options for all jewelry however, there is one essential piece of information that we always share with our buyers. Technically speaking, 14k gold is harder than 18k gold. This obviously makes a 14k mens topaz ring stronger than a similar ring made in 18k gold. For rings made with good design and metal weight, the difference in hardness between 14k and 18k gold would not make a very big difference. From facts and figures it is quite clear that, most men buying gold rings prefer 14k white or yellow gold.
We will now mention a few things about some new gem treatments being used to get some very attractive colors on topaz gems. These processes used what is basically a surface color enhancement process. White or colorless topaz is cut and polished to the required size and shape. In the next stage a type of vapor deposition process is applied to the stones. By the addition of various chemical compounds, fancy colors like orange, red, green and even colors that reveal a rainbow effect can be produced. You should know that even colors like swiss blue topaz and london blue topaz can be produced using this process. The disadvantage of using the diffusion process is that, the color is formed only on the surface of the stone. Since the color of such topaz gems are not present all through the stone, recutting, repolishing or scratches can reveal the white topaz inside.
In ancient times it was widely believed that, sapphire was the only natural blue gemstone, even the holy bible seems to have presumed blue lapis to be blue sapphire. Though gemology has today developed into a full fledged science, many people are still not aware about other natural blue gems other than blue sapphire. Many gem and jewelry sellers seem to love this lack of knowledge because, it allows them to sell expensive blue sapphire gemstones. It would however be much better for the industry as a whole if, customers are provided some facts and details about gemstones. It is likely that overall jewelry sales would increase if buyers knew that, blue gems like topaz are a good and much more affordable option as compared to blue sapphire.
