For those of you that have some lovely blue topaz in settings, can you please post some pictures? I'm trying to decide between the various shades for my personal ring. Natural blue, sky blue, Swiss blue, London blue...any of them.

This is my Swiss blue concave cut topaz by Richard Homer, set with smaller topaz. Hope it helps!

Wow. Just... wow. :eek2:

Sorry for party-pooping but you'd have to pay me, a lot, to wear such a radiation factory on my body. Very sorry.

BTW, are there any recommended go-to vendors for blue topaz?

You will love this thread with natural blue topazes: https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/rhapsody-in-bespoke-gems-blues.213660/page-14
(See page 14 for a line up of set stones).

To answer your question it’s important to know whether you have a specific setting in mind. In general I love David Klass’ work as well as Alistair Kelsey’s work. Both designers work a lot with coloured stones.
I do have a fairly good idea of what I want. Something along the lines of this mounting by Stuller. StullerYEIPDA3Z.jpg

Why did you get rid of it Catmom? It’s beautiful.

Thanks! I found that when I got my blue zircons I just never wore these anymore so I sold the set.

I understand. I try not to buy anything that would “compete” with what I already have. I would always choose one over the other.
