Blue Topaz ring

[peggy222]

My uncle left me a small sum of money recently and his favourite color was blue so I found this ring which was handmade and it has some lovely sparkly topaz in. The vendor is looking for about $350 and I had a look and saw that topaz is quite cheap to buy so I wasn't sure if I was paying too much. It is a ring that belonged to their relative which I kind of liked because it is being bought to remind me of a relative. The total carat weight is 6ct but there is no paperwork with it. Any thoughts appreciated.

To me that price seems very reasonable, i see silver topaz rins ranging from 125-450. and gold sttarting around 250-300. I cant tell from the picture if the topaz are exceptional but the color is nice.

Thanks Sabrina - I think it is London Blue Topaz but not sure. It's not a lot of money so will probably go ahead with it.

Most topaz is irradiated to improve the blue colour. Swiss blue is like a sky blue colour and London colour is darker and deeper. If you love the ring, buy it. Best to buy a ring already in your size otherwise it’s an extra expense for resizing.
