Topaz gemstone is a stone that is colorless in its purest form. But the obvious question that crops up with this statement is that how come it is available in a sparkling blue color. The high refraction of the deep blue color topaz jewelry is absolutely stunning. But blue is not the only topaz color that has the the world running after it. Jewelry manufacturers have also discovered the commercial potential of other topaz color variety and ornaments that can be made out of these varied topaz colors.
Apart from blue topaz color the other topaz colors that have found popularity, and are used for the purpose of making gemstone jewelry are:
Blue Topaz – Blue topaz needs no introduction. It's all over the place.
Pink Topaz – Pink topaz color is usually not a pale pink, but a deep pink topaz color that looks very bright and even ethnic when worn with darker metals like sterling silver. Pink topaz pendants in specific look very beautiful.
Yellow Topaz – Topaz color yellow is usually a fiery yellow, again very refractive like all the other shades. It is a popular color in pendant and rings.
