Go out to your favorite meadow on any sunny summer's day and lie down, staring straight up at the sky. You are now looking at the color of our Swiss Blue Topaz. 

I don't know if you've been following Topaz lately, but there's a mine in Minas Gerais, Brazil that produces a Topaz that takes treatment better than any other Topaz in the world, and is the source of the newer, darker Swiss Blue Topaz.  We get our rough from this mine, have it cut and treated, and the results are evident in the pictures we've got for this ring.  This is an outstanding stone, and it is enjoying a new popularity Swiss Blue hasn't seen in years.  This stone is a gotta have!

This hefty Swiss Blue Topaz stone is set into a simple Sterling Silver basket mounting. The stone weighs in the neighborhood of 12 - 13 carats, and measures 16x12mm.

Look closely at the prongs, and the rest of the setting -- we use a nice, thick structure (you don't want massive, but you don't want cheap stamped out stuff either) so that your jewelry will last and last. (Your daughter will love it when she inherits this from you.)
