The deep sparkle of London blue topaz allows it to add a rich, modern look to pieces inspired by the past. For instance, the design of the 1 Carat London Blue Topaz Art Deco Ring harkens back to the 1920s, but the alluring indigo stone that it features gives it an eye-catching appeal that’s perfect for today. This gem is revealed within the opening petals of a shining 14K white gold flower. The intricately, expertly carved design displayed by the band of this ring is lush with paisley-like swirls and leaves, adding a fitting accent to the blossom that rises from it. This piece could serve as a strong fashion statement or as a unique engagement ring.

If you’d rather let the beauty of London blue topaz speak for itself, consider a minimalistic style such as the London Blue Topaz Gemstone Solitaire Ring in 14K White Gold. This unfussy but ultimately classy piece is available in your choice of stone sizes, allowing you to go bold or stay a bit more understated. In addition to 14K white gold, this style is also available in yellow gold, which offers a sunny contrast to the cool color of the starring gem.

This flattering pair echoes the shape and color of that ring’s featured gem, interpreting it as a duo of 8mm-high London blue topaz stones, held by 14K white gold basket settings.
