About Birthstone Jewelry
December Birthstone: Blue Topaz
Blue topaz is prized for its soothing and captivating blue color, which is usually divided into three categories: sky blue for the palest shade, Swiss blue for the more saturated medium shade, and London blue for the deepest shade. Also known as an artist's stone, blue topaz is reputed to inspire creativity and enhance concentration
History of Birthstones
Chances are you can name your birthstone, but have you ever wondered how certain stones came to be associated with particular months? Most gem scholars trace the tradition to the Old Testament story of Aaron, whose breastplate was decorated with twelve precious stones, one for each of the twelve tribes of Israel. Over time, these stones were linked with certain powers and tied to particular astrological signs, and later to calendar months.
There are many variations of birthstone lists, including Mystical birthstones, which originate from Tibet and date back over a thousand years, and Ayurvedic birthstones, associated with ancient Indian medicine and beliefs. Birthstones have also been tied to ancient Pagan religions, and even to the collective wisdom of the legendary lost city of Atlantis.
The Modern birthstone list, perhaps the most universally known, was released by the American National Association of Jewelers and officially adopted in 1912. Whether you embrace birthstone lore, or look upon it with a skeptical eye, there is an undeniable appeal to collecting a beautiful gemstone that is reputed to hold special power, meaning, and good fortune just for you.

Lovely!
By Melaina Lara
This is a beautiful, simply elegant, necklace. The topaz is just as described, and even better in person. The setting and box chain are both very sturdy. And, of course, the price is excellent.

By P Eidelbus
This is amazing, a lot of gemstone for the price. I thought it was too good to be true, until I saw how beautiful it is. It's terrific as an everyday casual necklace, or even to complement a dressy outfit.
The stone is as large as the description says, and this is a quality blue topaz: clear, medium-blue, and cut nicely on the bottom to give it good sparkle. The four-prong setting seems secure enough but doesn't intrude much onto the stone.
Best of all, I ordered two on a Friday night, hunting around for more stocking stuffers, and mere "Free Super Saver Shipping" got them to me on the following Wednesday. Thanks again, Amazon!

Although the color was quite a bit lighter than the picture, the pale blue probably added to the beauty of this piece. The stone was much larger than expected and could easily be worn alone as a solitaire pendant without "getting lost". The cut and the sparkle are magnificent. It appears to be a far more valuable piece of jewelry than was charged. The silver chain was strong and also sparkled. It looks nicer than white gold. After viewing this pendant (I initially ordered two), I promptly ordered two more, plus the rings and earrings that coorinate. The sets will make birthstone gifts that I am proud to give!
