One of the most popular accessories in the United States (and the rest of the western world for that matter) is the blue topaz ring set in 14K white or yellow gold. The blue topaz ring is increasingly becoming famous due to its subtle color and affordability.

While there are several kinds of blue topaz rings available on the internet and local jewel stores, it should not come as a surprise that the most popular and fast selling item in this category is the 14K Blue Topaz Ring. Typically, a single blue topaz or a collection of other gems surrounding the blue topaz is mounted on a 14K white or yellow gold ring.

The letter “K” or “Karat” refers to the purity of the gold used in making the ring. The purity of the gold is measured in terms of the karat and is expressed in parts of 24. 24K gold is the purest form of gold but is not used for making ornaments as it is highly brittle and can lose shape easily. This is followed by 18K gold, 14K gold and 10K gold wherein gold is mixed with other metals like copper, nickel and zinc in varying proportions to make gold stronger and more durable. The resulting alloy also changes the hue of the gold turning it into white or grey, yellow or a light pink. The prices of the metal also fall considerable based on the purity of the gold. The lesser the purity and more of alloy, less is the gold price.

14K gold refers to gold wherein 14 of the 24 karats is non-gold and is an alloy of metals like nickel, zinc and copper. 14K yellow gold consists of 58% of gold, 31% of copper, 6% of zinc and about 4% of silver. 14K white gold consists of 58% of gold, 28% of zinc, 8% of titanium and rest is made up of nickel. 14K rose or pink gold is made up of 58% of gold, 39% of copper and rest is made up of silver. Owing to its durability and affordability, 14K gold is quite popular in United States for ornaments including wedding bands and engagement rings.

The blue topaz can be of three types – the pale blue, Swiss blue or the London blue. The London blue is considered to be most expensive and most sought after of all the topaz shades as its different hues of deep blue is enough to mesmerize anybody. However, set in 14K gold, it should be highly affordable.
