Understanding This Piece
About Topaz
Topaz occurs in a wide color range — from colorless to imperial orange-pink (the most valuable), as well as blue, yellow, and brown. Most commercial blue topaz is colorless natural topaz that has been irradiated to produce the vivid sky, Swiss, or London blue tones. Topaz scores 8 on Mohs (very durable for daily wear) and is the November birthstone (alongside citrine) and the 4th- and 23rd-anniversary gems.
About 14K Rose Gold
14K rose gold gets its romantic pink hue from a copper-rich alloy — typically around 25% copper combined with silver. The color is warm, slightly less intense than 10K rose, and ages beautifully without tarnishing or requiring rhodium replating. Rose gold has been a defining engagement-ring trend of the last decade, pairing especially well with morganites, peach sapphires, and oval and cushion-cut diamonds. It flatters most skin tones and reads as both vintage and modern.
About Hoop Earrings
Hoop earrings are circular or oval rings of metal that pass through the ear piercing. Sizes range from small huggies (10–12mm diameter) that hug the lobe to large statement hoops (50mm+) that drop dramatically. Hoops can be plain polished metal, diamond-set across the front face (inside-out hoops are set on both faces), or sculptural geometric designs. The style is among the most enduring categories in fine jewelry — gold hoops trace continuous use back to ancient Egypt and Greece.
