Bought a topez pendant

[gemhobby]

I just got a London Blue topez pendant and am trying to attach a picture of it. Please let me know what you think of it. Is the color of the stone good? Do you like the style of the setting?

In case the picture doesn''t come through, here is link to the site where I got it.

Hi,

Just curious. Why did you pick London Blue Topaz over an other blue stone?

Welcome gemhobby, your pendant is very pretty. It looks like it has a lot of gold in it. The colour of the stone is right on I would say for London Blue which is the darkest shade of blue topaz sold.

I was thinking of getting a lighter (swiss blue) pendant (here is the picture of the one I was thinking http://agilesco.com/ZenCart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_8&products_id=38 ), but then thought darker colored ones may be more valuable. Is it true that London Blus topez is more valuable than Swiss blue?

Having learned that blue topez is heat treated and irradiated, I am wondering if the irradiation treatment has any health effect on people who wear the stones.

Maybe I should have gotten an amethyst pendant instead? I will post another posting to ask the experts if amethyst is usually treated.
