Accent Stones Precious Topaz Ring 1.36 Ct., 18K White Gold

This ring centers a transparent 1.36 carat oval imperial topaz, measuring 7.82 by 5.48 by 3.72 millimeters, cut in a mixed brilliant to maximize both fire and face up color. The stone exhibits an intense pinkish orange hue with an excellent polish, and it is offered without any enhancement, which is a significant value attribute for collectors and connoisseurs who prioritize natural material provenance. Clarity has been assessed as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the gem reads as visually clean to most observers while retaining the character and depth that natural inclusions provide. The topaz is sourced from Brazil, a historic and respected origin for imperial topaz, and it is flanked by white marquise natural diamonds totaling approximately 0.48 carats, graded color F and clarity VS1 to VS2, which contribute crisp, near colorless contrast and strong scintillation. The entire composition is set in platinum 950 by The Natural Gemstone Company, a metal choice that underscores the piece as a premium offering through its weight, secure setting properties, and long term resistance to wear.

From a durability perspective this ring compares favorably to similar luxury designs, while also requiring some specific care considerations due to the material properties of topaz. Topaz has a Mohs hardness of about 8, which makes it substantially more resistant to everyday abrasion than quartz and many other gem materials, but it is softer than sapphire and diamond and it displays perfect cleavage in one direction, which means a sharp blow can cause a chip or cleavage break. The use of platinum 950 in this design provides superior tensile strength and prong retention compared with many gold mountings commonly seen on the market, and this enhances the security of the center stone and the marquise diamonds. Compared with bezel set rings, the prong setting here allows greater light entry and color display, at the trade off of slightly higher exposure to incidental impact, so routine inspection of prongs and careful removal during strenuous activity is recommended. For cleaning, gentle warm soapy water and a soft brush are advised, and professional inspection and polishing at regular intervals will preserve both the metal and the stones. The Natural Gemstone Company recommends these measures to ensure that the exceptional color and eye level clarity of this Brazilian imperial topaz remain a lasting and prized feature in the wearer collection.
