Sparkle with Topaz this November

November 02, 2020

Autumn is getting colder, the earth turning from green to orange. Citrine is traditionally known as November’s birthstone, a perfect, bright stone to pair with the colors of autumn.

For those who prefer a brighter range of colors to choose from, topaz can be found in shades of blue, yellow, pink, orange, and sometimes white. Most common is blue topaz. It’s a striking shade of blue, much like aquamarine, but with a brighter, richer hue. Blue topaz looks lovely in silver, yellow or rose gold, or paired with just about any other gemstone. ...

Melissa's Top 5 Picks for the Holidays!

November 20, 2012

Every year when I see the new jewelry come in or I'm in one of the stores visiting, I start to gather a list of my favorites. Since I help customers shop and find the perfect gift every day, I thought why not share my favorites, and maybe give someone an idea that they hadn't thought about before!

I always said I would rather have a beautiful blue topaz ring than an engagement ring, now I'm on the fence, but I'd still take a beautiful blue topaz ring.
