1.07 Ct. Topaz from Brazil

One beautiful transparent 1.07 carat round shape sky blue topaz, with precise dimensions of 5.97 x 5.98 x 4.00 mm, is offered by The Natural Gemstone Company as a distinct example of classic blue topaz beauty and technical quality. The stone is fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut, combining a brilliant style crown with carefully calibrated pavilion facets, to maximize scintillation and overall light return while preserving weight and outline. This particular gem exhibits very light color intensity, a clarity grade recorded as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, and an excellent polish that delivers a crisp table and lively facet reflections. Enhancement has been applied by irradiation, a widely accepted and controlled treatment in the industry that produces the clear sky blue tone that collectors and connoisseurs recognize and appreciate. The origin of this topaz is Brazil, a source historically associated with consistently fine material, and this provenance is part of the value proposition presented by The Natural Gemstone Company.

Understanding the grading and physical characteristics of this topaz will help an educated buyer appreciate its merit. The 1.07 carat weight, combined with the nearly symmetrical dimensions, ensures an appealing face up size for a variety of jewelry applications, from a delicate ring to an elegant pendant. The mixed brilliant cut is selected to balance brilliance with scintillation, the crown facets dispersing light and the pavilion facets guiding return light through the table, creating a lively appearance even with a lighter color intensity. A clarity grade of very very slightly included at eye level indicates the stone is essentially eye clean, any inclusions being minute and difficult to detect without magnification, which preserves transparency and optical performance. The excellent polish is a measurable asset, improving the surface finish so that light passes cleanly into and out of the gem, enhancing perceived brightness and contributing to long term wear resistance.

Color and treatment are critical considerations for any sky blue topaz purchase, and disclosure is essential for trust. This stone shows a very light but attractive sky blue hue, achieved through a controlled irradiation process followed by stabilizing treatments that are industry standard for blue topaz. Irradiation, when performed and disclosed responsibly, creates long lasting color without compromising the structural integrity of the stone, and is accepted practice among gem laboratories and trade professionals. Natural, untreated intense blue topaz is exceptionally rare and commands a premium, therefore most market blue topaz is treated to achieve the preferred sky blue shades. For the educated buyer, the clear disclosure that this 1.07 carat topaz is irradiated, together with its documented Brazilian origin, enables an informed assessment of rarity, pricing, and suitability for an intended piece of jewelry.

The heritage and traditional uses of topaz lend additional depth to this gem beyond its optical and physical qualities. Topaz has been cherished across cultures for millennia, prized by ancient Egyptian and Roman societies, adopted in Indian gem traditions, and celebrated in European lapidary arts for its perceived powers of protection, clarity, and healing. Historically, blue topaz has been associated with calm, communication, and fidelity, a symbolic relevance that complements its role as a modern birthstone for November and a meaningful choice for anniversary pieces and gifts designed to last generations. Presenting this stone as part of a heirloom intent honors that lineage, establishing continuity between historic reverence for topaz and contemporary jewelry design. For a collector or jeweler seeking a gem that combines classical symbolism with proven material quality, this sky blue topaz from Brazil embodies both heritage and practical desirability.

Practical guidance and assurances complete the description, supporting confidence in purchase and care. For settings, the round mixed brilliant shape and 5.97 x 5.98 x 4.00 mm proportions suit classic solitaires, halo designs that enhance apparent size, or multi stone compositions where consistent color and cut integrity are important. Metals such as white gold, platinum, and sterling silver complement the cool blue tones, while warmer metals can offer contrast for a distinctive aesthetic. Care is straightforward, as topaz is a durable gem for everyday jewelry, but common sense precautions are advised, avoiding exposure to extreme heat or prolonged chemical contact, and preferring warm soapy water and a soft brush for cleaning. Ultrasonic cleaners are typically acceptable for stable, irradiated topaz, however confirmation with a gemologist is recommended for any piece with complex settings or additional treatments. The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind the provenance and disclosed treatment of this topaz, and we offer documentation and support to verify origin and grading for buyers who require formal certification, traceability, or custom mounting advice. This gem represents a transparent, historically resonant, and technically sound choice for the informed purchaser.
