Fire and Ice: The Many Colours of Topaz
November is a month of contrasts - glowing bonfires against crisp, frosty air; bursts of fireworks lighting the night sky; golden leaves beside grey seas. It’s no wonder that topaz, with its dazzling range of colours, is the gemstone of the month. From fiery amber and sunset peach to cool oceanic blues, topaz captures both warmth and serenity. We love this gemstone for its versatility and timeless radiance - a true reflection of nature’s balance between fire and ice.
The name Topaz is derived from the ancient Sanskrit (Hindu) word tapas, meaning fire - a fitting origin for a gemstone that glows with warmth and energy.
Topaz’s fiery shades of golden yellow, amber, and the coveted imperial pink-orange shimmer like sparks from a bonfire or trails of fireworks across the November sky.
If the warm tones of golden topaz capture fire, then blue topaz holds the soul of ice.
Ranging from delicate sky blue to deep London blue, it mirrors the serenity of the winter sea and the clarity of a frosty morning.
This cooler variety is associated with calm, communication, and emotional balance. We have a wonderful range of blue topaz jewellery set in white or yellow gold in our window. We particularly love: a pair of Blue Topaz Drop Earrings.
Inside our shop, we also have a wide range of topaz jewellery set in silver – something for every taste and every budget.
Fireworks in Stone: A Celebration of Colour
Just as fireworks scatter colour across November’s night skies, gemstones bring their own flashes of brilliance to life.
Topaz leads the show, but other gems add their own bursts of light - ruby’s crimson spark, amethyst’s violet haze and peridot’s green flare.
Together, they capture the excitement, colour, and emotion of the season - moments of light suspended in time.
