Silver Ring Faerie - Blue Topaz

Silver 925 is an alloy consisting of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper

Sky Blue Topaz, with its serene, sky-like hue, hides a secret you deserve to know.

Topaz's natural blue is extremely pale and rare.

Today's vibrant tone is achieved from colorless topaz, irradiated and then heat-stabilized — a transformation that has become an industry standard.

The process is perfectly safe: any residual radioactivity dissipates, and stones from reputable suppliers are tested before sale.

In essence, it's a triumph of modern science, turning a colorless stone into one of the most beloved blue gems — affordable and luminous.

The Sky Blue tone is the lightest among topaz blues — a delicate, serene blue.

The rough topaz mostly comes from Brazil and Nigeria.

Associated with clarity, communication, and calm, its soothing blue makes it a beloved choice for everyday wear.

With a hardness of 8, it's durable, needing only protection from hard knocks to the edges.

It's best kept away from sudden temperature changes and cleaned gently.

It is beautifully showcased in 925 silver and white gold.

The zirconia used in jewelry (cubic zirconia) is a stone that’s entirely man-made.

It’s zirconium dioxide melted at over 2700°C and carefully crystallized to obtain a clear, inclusion-free stone.

It’s virtually absent in nature — a triumph of the lab.

It even has a Cold War backstory: it was perfected by Soviet scientists at the Lebedev Institute in Moscow in the 1970s, under the name “fianit”.

The result mimics a diamond’s fire so well that it has become the most popular sparkling and affordable alternative to diamond.

Good to know: it’s different from “zircon,” which is a completely separate natural gemstone.

Most often it’s colorless, mirroring diamond, but it can be produced in any color.

Its strong brilliance is beautifully showcased in 925 silver and gold.

As a modern stone, it doesn’t have its own symbolic tradition, but it’s loved for its sparkle and versatility.

With a hardness of 8–8,5 it stands up well to everyday wear, requiring only moderate care.

Clean it gently to keep its fire, and it’s right at home in everyday jewelry.
