About Topaz Gemstones
Topaz comes in yellow, flax, brown, blue, green, red, and pink, but the color for Sagittarius is yellow. It is a hard gemstone and an exotic stone of the jewelry trade. The hardness of the stone increases its tendency to break, so it is typically used in jewelry pieces that will not encounter hard surfaces or water. When looking for Sagittarius jewellery made with Topaz, it is best to choose pendants, earrings or brooches in order to help reduce the risk of damage to the stone. Sagittarians are typically modest and are often religious, so when considering Sagittarius jewellery, a cross made with a sterling and topaz stone is a gift that the true Sagittarian would treasure.
When buying Sagittarius jewellery to give as a give, it is important to consider the recipients style and taste. Jewelry that is given as a gift should be well-made and designed with quality stones and metals. It is best to avoid giving a piece of jewelry with an overly large, garish stone. Whether you receive topaz as a gift, or buy it for yourself, it is important to know how to clean the stone. It should be gently wiped clean with a damp cloth. You should not put a topaz in harsh chemicals as it may alter the color of the stone.
