BLOSSOMING TWIG | Solid Gold necklace with Sky Blue Topaz

This 9ct solid Gold necklace features a blossoming twig set with a faceted drop shaped AAA Sky Blue Topaz.
It is a one of a kind piece, made in my goldsmithing studio in Yorkshire.
Inspired by nature’s beauty the leaves and the twig with its blossom have been created by hand.

The Topaz is a semi-precious stone that has been used in jewellery for centuries, used in amulets of power and influence.
Its rarity has meant that it has become associated with glory and success.
The ancient Greek believed, this gem possessed the power to increase strength.
Today Topaz is used in alternative healing to treat insomnia, it stimulates blood circulation and increases appetite.

Among the names for the various shades of blue are Sky Blue, Swiss Blue and London Blue.
Topaz is also the birthstone of November, together with the Citrine.
