Every month sees a new wave of conversations about birthstones in the jewelry industry. If you’re used to having these conversations with colleagues and clients, then you know that November birthdays are often unfamiliar with the full variety of colors of their birthstone – Topaz.
Topaz is available in a full spectrum of blue hues from delicate Sky Blue Topaz to bright and clear Swiss Blue Topaz, and rich and moody London Blue Topaz.
Topaz also creates a full palette of warm-toned colors. Precious Topaz is characterized by golden honey and amber yellows, as well as juicy peach, coral, and orange shades. Imperial Topaz, from Ouro Preto, Brazil is the rarest variety of Topaz, and is prized for its saturated pinkish-orange and fiery red hues.
There is no shortage of inspiration when creating jewelry for September Sapphire or May Emerald, but finding inspiration for November Topaz can be tricky.
Below are four color palettes celebrating the full range of Topaz to inspire you throughout November.
