Every stone on this site is sold loose, which means unset: the gem on its own, with no ring, no pendant and no mount. For topaz that is worth more than usual, because the thing most likely to damage this stone is the setting process itself.

The stone

9.45 carats, which is 10.38 ratti. Rs. 18,900, Rs. 2,000 per carat, reference GS-BT-0003.

Why buying loose matters here

• You choose the setter, and brief them. Topaz has perfect basal cleavage. A setter who does not know that may use a pressure mount or heat near the stone. Buying loose means you get to say so first.
• You see the whole stone. Chips at the girdle, a window in the table, uneven facet junctions — all visible before anything is permanent.
• The two prices stay separate. You know what the gem cost and what the metalwork cost, instead of one combined figure.
• The design is yours. Your jeweller builds around the stone rather than you picking from stock mounts.
• It returns easily. A loose stone is simple to inspect on delivery and simple to send back.

What to check when it arrives

Weigh it if you have a jeweller's scale — it should read 9.45 carats. Feel the weight in your hand; topaz is noticeably denser than glass or quartz of the same size, and that is the quickest authenticity check there is. Hold it over a line of printed text and look straight down: if you can read through the middle of the table, there is a window. Check the facet junctions for crisp meeting points and the girdle for chips.

Then brief your jeweller

No pressure or tension settings. A bezel or heavy claws over the girdle. No heat near the stone. Low profile. Those four instructions prevent almost every topaz that gets damaged in a workshop.

Delivery across Pakistan

Flat Rs. 500 by insured, tracked courier to every city, dispatched within one to two working days, with most addresses receiving the parcel inside about seven working days. You pay the rider after the parcel is open and you have looked at the stone, and the seven-day return window runs from delivery.

Treatment and verification

Blue topaz gets its colour from irradiation and heating, starting from colourless topaz — standard, permanent and on our specification sheet. A certificate of authenticity comes on request and independent laboratory testing can be arranged. More on our authenticity page.

Care

Topaz is 8 on the Mohs scale. Warm soapy water and a soft brush; never an ultrasonic or steam cleaner. Our topaz care guide has the routine.

This particular stone

This listing is one natural blue topaz with a weight of 9.45 Carat. Its price is Rs. 18,900 — roughly Rs. 2,000 for each carat. Treatment: irradiated & heated. Quote reference GS-BT-0003 when you message us about it. The photographs show this exact stone, so what arrives at your door is the piece you chose on screen.

From six carats up a stone becomes the centre of attention. It wants a broader shank or a secure claw setting and suits an occasion ring, a signet or a centre pendant. Clean natural material of this size turns up far less often, and the per-carat rate reflects that.

On the Mohs scale blue topaz rates 8. Few materials will scratch it, so it copes well with everyday ring wear. A soak in warm water with a drop of mild soap and a soft brush keeps it bright; skip the ultrasonic cleaner if inclusions reach the surface.

Whoever you buy blue topaz from, make sure of three things: the stone is natural rather than lab-grown, glass or glass-filled; any treatment is stated in writing; and the weight quoted is the weight of the finished stone. We check every blue topaz for those three points before it is listed, a certificate is available on request, and because you pay on delivery you can look at the stone — or have it tested — before any money changes hands.

We sell natural stones only and inspect each one before it is listed. Treatment for this stone: Irradiated & heated. Certificate available on request. As general background (not a statement about this stone): Blue topaz gets its blue colour from irradiation and heating — this is standard for the stone and the colour is stable. Ask us on WhatsApp and we will tell you what we know about this exact stone; independent lab testing is available on request.
