Swiss Blue Topaz -- what you get when you expose an ordinary clear topaz to radiation at a nuclear facility. It turns into a really butt ugly color, but when you heat it up a tad, the ugly goes away and you're left with the color of the sky, straight up at high noon. Just the most awesome blue you ever saw. I'm just totally in love with them.

8/27/14 Note: Since creating this listing, the mines in Brazil have started to run out of material. The larger stones are getting increasing difficult to obtain, and the miners are raising their prices accordingly. The price you see in this listing reflects the current market, and is only going to go higher, possibly doubling before the year is out. When these stones are gone, they are gone. I'm sorry for the rapid price increase, but I have no control. These stones have, for years now, been the best London Blue Topaz on the market, but with the mines playing out, the larger ones will vanish, but the smaller ones will still be around for awhile -- but they will be going up in price.

It'd better be a good, clean, solid, deep sky blue, or I won't carry 'em. Really good sparkle and fire.
This ring is a nice design; sort of Grecian with a rope braiding on the sides. A really pretty Sterling Silver ring, very solid construction. This is one of those rings you'll pass down to your daughter..
It is simple enough for everyday wear, yet pretty enough to wear out in the evening.
