Excellent condition We are pleased to offer this beautiful 14 K yellow gold and sterling silver pendant with a stunning blue topaz stone.
This necklace weighs approximately 2.5 grams. The pendant features one of two of the most beautiful, deep blue stones I have come across recently. It is an oval cut blue topaz that is bar set in 14K gold. The bail measures about ½” and is made of sterling silver. The pendant is hallmarked “925” indicating that the silver metal on the bail is sterling silver, the standard for beautiful, high quality silver jewelry being over 90% pure silver mixed with alloys to add strength and durability. The metal will not wear down. (See below for more information.) The pendant is also hallmarked “14K” indicating that the gold colored metal is solid 14K yellow gold.
This contemporary piece is elegant with the wonderful tones of the cool, deep, pure waters of the South Pacific, and will look fantastic against the warm tones of your skin. If you love blue topaz, this is the one you will want for your own.

Blue Topaz
The name topaz comes from the Sanskrit and means fire. Blue topaz is the Texas state gemstone and the gemstone for the month of December. Naturally occurring Blue Topaz is quite rare.
Folklore, Legend, and Healing Properties:
During the Middle Ages topaz was thought to heal both physical and mental disorders and prevent death.
The Greeks believed it had power to increase strength and to make its wearer invisible while the Romans believed it had power to improve eyesight. The Egyptians wore it as an amulet to protect them from injury.
Gold – general
Gold jewelry will never go out of style because gold is as wearer-friendly as it is beautiful. Pure gold doesn't react with other elements to create tarnish.
Ever since the discovery of gold 5,000 years ago, it has been treasured for its unmatched luster, beauty and intrinsic value. Today, gold continues to enjoy widespread appeal as an investment and storehouse of value. Gold is an internationally recognized monetary and financial asset held in reserve by major governments. It is so rare that all the gold ever mined could fit into a cube measuring just 20 yards on each side.
Gold is dense, soft, shiny and the most malleable pure metal known. A single gram can be beaten into a sheet of one square meter, or an ounce into 300 square feet.
14K gold
Fourteen carat gold-copper alloy is nearly identical in color to certain bronze alloys, and both may be used to produce police and other badges, and, of course, beautiful jewelry.
Sterling silver
Pure Silver has a brilliant white metallic luster. It is very ductile and malleable below gold and palladium (one of the platinum metals). Sterling silver is a white and highly reflective precious metal. Sterling refers to silver that is 92.5 percent pure, which should be stamped on the metal as Sterling, 925 or .925, sometimes accompanied by the initials of the designer or country of origin as a hallmark.
