Blue Topaz vs London Blue Topaz
Both are Topaz. Both bring beautiful blue color to jewelry. But put them side by side and the difference is striking. Blue Topaz is brighter, clearer and more luminous, while London Blue Topaz moves into deeper teal, steel blue, ocean and inky tones.
Same Gemstone Family. Very Different Blue.
London Blue Topaz is not a completely different gemstone from Blue Topaz. It belongs to the same Topaz family. What changes most dramatically is the color.
If you love a lighter, more luminous blue, Blue Topaz immediately catches the eye. If you prefer something deeper, moodier and more saturated, London Blue Topaz creates an entirely different presence on the hand.

London Blue Topaz is recognizable because of its depth. It does not have the same light, open blue appearance associated with brighter Blue Topaz.

That depth is exactly what gives London Blue Topaz its dramatic personality.
