There can be nothing more beautiful than a shimmering, iridescent blue topaz mounted on a white band – it will certainly remind you of the deep blue Mediterranean Sea interspersed with frothy white waves! It should not then come as a surprise that more and more people are seeking a white gold blue topaz ring as a must have accessory for their wardrobe.

In the US, Europe and the rest of the world, white gold is increasingly catching the fancy of people because of its versatility and teamwork with gemstones. Whenever wearing any gemstone accessory, be it a necklace or earrings or a ring, do keep in mind that the focus should always stay on the gemstone and not the metal supporting it.

Typically, yellow gold with gemstones do not work that well as the yellow gold vies for attention along with the gemstones. It, in fact, clouds the beauty of the gemstone. On the other hand, by making itself transparent, the white gold setting enhances the appeal and luster of the gemstone. The same is the case with a white gold blue topaz ring – the intensity, saturation and hue of the blue topaz is enhanced against the back drop of the white gold.

A blue topaz ring set against a white gold band is also versatile in its appearance. Be it casuals, party wear or business formals, this accessory will go well with the dress and enhance the entire look and personality of the person wearing it. A white gold band is also economical, allowing the person to invest in a large sized blue topaz. Also white gold is cheaper than platinum, yet matching the same look of elegance and sophistication provided by platinum jewellery.

Just ensure that you do not mount pale blue topaz against a white band as white gold does not gel well with transparent colored stones. In the United States, yellow gold is most often alloyed with nickel to change the color of the gold and make it more durable. However, nickel can cause a few allergies for people with sensitive skin. It is better to request for white gold settings that have been alloyed using palladium.

Some white gold settings are rhodium plated to provide a shiny and smooth appearance. While rhodium does not cause any allergies, the polish and sheen can be lost due to exposure from everyday detergents and soaps. So take care to remove the ring before you get into any rough work. Also, blue topaz subject to harsh usage can chip or break making it irreparable.

White gold can be 18K, 14K and 10K based on the ratio of gold to other metals. The most popularly used white gold is 14K as it is durable and also priced economically. Finally, a blue topaz ring with a white gold setting is a must have for any women’s wardrobe and an ideal gift for men who love wearing accessories and also for men who shy away from very bold and flashy accessories. It can also act as a worthwhile family heirloom that you can pass on to your grandchildren.
