The properties of topaz

Topaz come in an impressive variety of colors: white, yellow, orange, pink, blue, green, purple, and sometimes even multicolored. These colors can "fade" over time if the stones are exposed to too much light. So remember to store your topaz jewelry away from light.

Topaz is a stone of great hardness. It is one of the hardest semi-precious stones, and comes right after the diamond in terms of hardness.

The Egyptians attributed mystical powers to the topazes and used amulets. Romans and Greeks thought that topaz could make the warrior invisible. While in the Middle Ages, it was thought that it improved eyesight.

Topaz deposits have been found in many countries: Brazil, India, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Australia, Myanmar, China, Germany, France, Japan, Madagascar, Mexico, Namibia, Nigeria, Pakistan, Russia, Zimbabwe, Ukraine and USA. .

The material of your pendant

The silver used to make the jewelry can not be pure 100%, because it would be too soft. In order to work it is added one or more alloy metals, most of the time copper.

Silver jewelry, in Europe and in most countries of the world, is 925 silver. It is 1st grade silver, it has a minimum content of 92,5%. This is also called sterling silver, from the English Sterling Silver 925. Sterling silver, for example, is made up of 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper. Sterling silver has been a category of silver for jewelry in many countries since the 14th century.
