Worn as an amulet by the Egyptians, topaz was believed to protect its wearer from injury. To produce a more intense color, the naturally pale to medium blue topaz is sometimes enhanced by irradiation. From the Sanskrit word meaning “fire,” topaz is found in Brazil, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Russia.
For over 2,000 years, the topaz gemstone has been revered for its natural beauty. It is one of the gemstones that formed the foundation for the twelve gates to the Holy City of New Jerusalem. A symbol of beauty and splendor, these “apocalyptic stones” are intended to protect their wearers from enmity. The Romans thought so highly of topaz that they dedicated the stone to Jupiter, the king of their gods.

Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are the best way to clean your topaz jewelry. Strong heat and extreme temperature changes should be avoided. While relatively hard, topaz can crack if dropped or subjected to strong blows.
Silver jewelry should be stored in an airtight container with a soft lining. Cleaning with soap and water and buffing with a soft cloth will keep your silver shiny as new. Avoid exposure of your silver jewelry to abrasive cleansers and bleach, which may cause discoloration.
