Topaz is a universally popular gem, but remember that it is nearly always treated to enhance its appearance, sometimes with heat and sometimes with coatings. Some treatments are stable, and last forever with proper care, but other treatments are considered temporary. Read descriptions carefully, and ask retailers questions about their jewelry if you're not sure you understand the components used in each piece. That said, I think you'll like the topaz earrings in this collection. Topaz is the November birthstone, but the gem is popular with people born in every month of the yeer.
Topaz Earrings Set in Sterling Silver
Ross-Simons
Sterling silver is an affordable metal, and that means the majority of earrings in this collection won't break your budget, although a few are definitely pricier than others. The whiteness of silver enhances the appearance of the topaz used in these earrings, and you'll find all sorts of styles, from studs to drops.
Topaz Earrings Set in 14K Gold
Ross-Simons
The topaz earrings in this collection are all set in 14K white or yellow gold, like the pink topaz pendant earrings shown here. Styles cover a full range of earring types, including studs, drops, chandeliers and more. Prices vary, beginning well under $100 and moving upwards based on the intricacy of the design and its inclusion of other gemstones.
Topaz Earrings Set in 18K Gold
Blue Nile
You would expect every one of these earring pairs to be priced well above the 14K gold group, but that isn't the case. Some definitely are, with prices correlating to intricacy and the use of additional gems, but you'll find some pretty topaz earrings in this group that are priced under $100. The earrings shown to the left are Princess cut studs from Blue Nile, and just one of the numerous designs you'll find in this large group.
Topaz Earrings Set in Titanium
Topaz Earrings Set in Titanium
It's a smaller grouping of styles, but topaz earrings in this category are generally priced under $100. You'll find that a majority of the earrings are studs, like the style shown here, some in bezel settings and some with topaz stones held in place with prongs.
Topaz Earrings Set with Pearls
Ross-Simons
Now these are pretty earrings! Most of the examples combine blue topaz with creamy white pearls, and it's a perfect combination. But you'll find other colors of topaz included, too, like the white topaz and pearl tassel earrings shown here. Tassel earrings are very popular, and we've seen them on quite a few celebrities lately, like:
- Natalie Portman's beaded tassel earrings, worn to the Academy Awards
- Manuela Arcuri, an Italian actress, wearing yellow gold tassel earrings to the Venice Film Festival
- Kate Hudson, who wore Stephen Russell's 17 carat diamond and pearl tassel earrings when she walked the Golden Globes red carpet
- Bridget Moynahan, who wore Cartier Panther tassel earrings to a celeb event
All of the topaz earrings in this collection look elegant, but many will work for casual to dressy events, and will be easier on your budget than tassel earrings seen on most celebrity ears.
London Blue Topaz Earrings
Saks Fifth Avenue
Topaz referred to as London Blue Topaz is darker in color than much of the other topaz you'll see when you shop for jewelry. It also has a slightly greyish tint, adding to the stone's depth. Some London Blue Topaz jewelry is more expensive than jewelry made from other versions of the stone, but not everything fits into that category. Browse this collection of London Blue and I think you'll find many lovely earrings that suit your budget.
