There are a few good ways to set this 8.2 carat white topaz. A silver ring with a bezel or protected prongs shows the colourless stone well and guards the edges. A pendant is the safest option for daily wear. Gold suits it too, giving a warmer frame to a stone that has no colour of its own.

At 8.2 carats the stone is a comfortable ring size, noticeable but not heavy. Topaz has a Mohs hardness of 8, so it stands up to normal use, though a hard knock on an edge can cause it to split. We can talk through a custom silver ring setting on WhatsApp (+92 308 887 3888), just ask.

This particular stone

This listing is one natural white topaz with a weight of 8.2 Carat. Its price is Rs. 7,380 — roughly Rs. 900 for each carat. Treatment: treatment not tested. Quote reference GS-WH-0008 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 white 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.
