Blue Topaz Jewelry: Earrings, Rings and Pendants
Blue Topaz is the birthstone of December and anniversary gemstone for the 4th year of marriage.
Egyptians felt topaz was a very powerful amulet against harm, because they believed that topaz was colored with the golden glow of the mighty sun god Ra. The Romans associated topaz with Jupiter, who also is the god of the sun. Legend has it that Topaz dispels all enchantment and helps to improve eyesight. The ancient Greeks believed that Topaz had the power to increase strength and make its wearer invisible in times of emergency. Topaz was also said to change color in the presence of poisoned food or drink. It was said to cure insomnia, asthma, and hemorrhages.
