2.40 Ct. Topaz from Brazil

From the mineral rich hills of Brazil to the quiet light of a master cutter s studio, the journey of this Swiss blue topaz reads like a short, luminous memoir. Born of pegmatite pockets and slow cooling under the earth, its crystalline form waited for human hands to reveal the blue that hides within clear topaz. Mined with care in Brazil, this specimen then traveled to our lapidary partners where rough edges were examined and the best orientation for light return was chosen. At The Natural Gemstone Company we watch each step, from extraction to evaluation, with an eye for traceability and quality. The finished gem is a transparent round, weighing 2.40 carats, with dimensions of 7.72 x 7.81 x 5.47 millimeters, a mixed brilliant cut that balances fiery scintillation with broad, velvet blue flashes.

The cutting and polishing stages are where geology meets craft, and this Swiss blue topaz carries the fingerprint of both. The mixed brilliant cut has been chosen to maximize both table brightness and crown brilliance, while preserving weight and balance. Under careful loupe and at eye level this gem is rated as eye clean, a clarity grade that allows uninterrupted admiration of its intense blue color. The polish is excellent, the facets finishing with a mirror like precision that produces crisp reflections and lively sparkle. This stone has been enhanced by irradiation, a standard and stable treatment used to bring out vivid blue tones in topaz, and this enhancement is disclosed as part of our commitment to honesty in every description. The irradiation produces a uniform intense color intensity that reads as Swiss blue, a shade that is both bright and serene.

When this Swiss blue topaz is set into jewelry the story takes another turn, from individual gem to wearable art. The round 2.40 carat shape sits confidently in a variety of settings, showing off the mixed brilliant facets whether mounted in a classic solitaire ring, a delicate pendant, or a pair of stud earrings. Settings with open crowns and prongs will allow more light to enter and will emphasize the stone s internal life, while a bezel setting will frame the gem for a modern, secure look. The excellent polish and the precise cut create flashes that pair beautifully with reflective metals, and the dimensions make it large enough to be a centerpiece while remaining elegant and versatile. Our photographs show the gem on a hand for scale, and in person the weight and dimensions provide a satisfying presence that translates into everyday luxury.

The Swiss blue hue of this topaz is remarkably flattering across a wide spectrum of skin tones, and understanding how color interacts with complexion can help a buyer envision the final piece. On fair skin the clear, vivid blue offers a crisp contrast that brightens the hand and draws attention to the gem without overwhelming delicate features. For medium or warm undertones the cool clarity of Swiss blue provides a refreshing counterpoint, lifting warmth and creating a balanced, sophisticated look, especially when paired with yellow gold settings that echo skin warmth. Olive complexions find a beautiful harmony with this tone, as the sapphire like blue enhances subtle green undertones and makes the skin appear more luminous. On deeper skin tones the intensity of the blue reads as bold and majestic, standing out in striking relief and creating a jewel like pop that looks luxurious in larger formats and elegant in modest sizes alike. For those with cool undertones, settings in white metals like white gold or platinum will create a cohesive cool palette that emphasizes the gem s crisp blue, while warm metals like rose gold can introduce a modern contrast that highlights the stone s clarity and brilliance.
