Choosing and Wearing Mystic Topaz Earrings

The ancients have long valued topaz for its mystical, talismanic and healing properties but modern women value it for its incredible beauty and the latent popularity of this semi-precious stone has given it the status of a gem. Topaz comes in many natural colours but it is the artificially-induced iridescent colouration given to clear or white topaz that has captivated the world and, consequently, sent prices soaring.

Ordinary topaz has become 'Mystic' with a heating treatment and the application of an ultra-thin film of titanium which causes the prismatic action that transforms the clear stone into a dazzling rainbow of shimmering colours. It is hardly surprising that demand for this gorgeous gem is going through the roof and what nicer way to wear it than in a set of earrings?

A small pair of studs (4 mm) set in sterling silver can be yours for as little as $4.99 from Amazon, while King Ice have princess-cut sets with the same sized gem for $9.99. But if you are going to wear something as beautiful as Mystic Topaz, you will surely want it to be noticed by all. Heavenly Treasures has a 6 mm (1.5 ctw - or carat total weight] of gemstones - also in sterling silver, for $24.99. All these, of course, are for pierced ears. A similar-sized round or oval stud in 14 K yellow gold will cost $59.99 from stores like Target, J C Penny or Overstock. Slightly more comfortable and secure than a stud is the lever-back style and both Sears and K-Mart are offering a pair of 10K white gold Mystic Topaz and diamond earrings for only $59.99. To view all of these simply enter your chosen keywords into your usual search engine.

If you prefer your Mystic Topaz earrings in a dangly style, Tibet Shining have a beautiful pair of sterling silver, 8-carat gems that have to be seen to be truly appreciated. These unique earrings are hand-crafted with hook fasteners and retail for only $55.99. They would be a perfect complement if you like to wear diamond cocktail rings, such as the beautiful 10K white gold oval-cut mystic topaz and diamond ring from Joolwe, or the more modestly priced Mystic Fire Topaz and white sapphire ring, available from Gordon's Jewelers for $149.99.

Hoop style earrings have always been popular but Gemolica has taken hoop earring to a new dimension by using the 14 K white gold hoops to showcase six individual 4mm round Mystic Topaz gemstones and all for an amazing bargain price of $70.99 - that is 50% off the regular price. For a very special occasion or gift, 'My Black Diamonds' has just the answer with their 2.75 ctw Mystic Topaz and.04 Ct AA black diamonds in 14K white gold. At $258.00, these are not for every day wear, but when you want to dress up, you want to do it in style!

If you are spending so much on your new earrings, then a word of advice about the care of them might be timely. Always remove them when bathing and sleeping, and, as with rings, avoid any kind of abrasives when cleaning (just a rub with a soft lint-free cloth is all that is necessary); and store them carefully when not in use. With care, your beautiful Mystic Topaz rings and earrings will be a delight to wear for years to come.
