Swiss Blue Topaz V/s London Blue Topaz
If you're looking to mix the royalty of Blue Sapphires with the calmness and affordability of aquamarine gemstone, you’re gonna love the versatility of Blue Topaz. With the hardness of 8 on the Moh's scale, Swiss blue topaz and London blue topaz are two distinct varieties of blue topaz, each with unique characteristics. Let's get to the basic differences:
Swiss Blue Topaz
Imagine a tropical paradise, with crystal-clear waters that sparkle in the sunlight. That's what you get with Swiss Blue Topaz! Its bright, vibrant blue colour has a light to moderate saturation, making it look lively and eye-catching. This gemstone is usually created through heat treatment, which enhances its natural blue hue.
London Blue Topaz
Now, reimagine: a moonless evening sky, with a deep, rich blue that takes your breath away. That's London Blue Topaz! Its colour is darker and more subdued, with moderate to dark saturation. This variety is often formed through natural processes or irradiation, which alters the crystal structure and colour of the stone.
So, which one is more valuable?
London Blue Topaz is generally more expensive due to its rarity and depth of colour. Swiss Blue Topaz, on the other hand, is more affordable and widely available.
