About the Item

Imperial topaz solitaire ring. Set to centre with a natural cushion cut imperial topaz in a open back rubover setting with an approximate weight of 20.85 carats, to a striking solitaire design with a curved tapering bezel, polished edges and pierced open backholing, the smoothly integrated broad shoulders flow through to a solid D-shape shank. Marked 18 carat yellow gold, French, circa 1970. Imperial Topaz is a rare and highly prized gemstone. Celebrated for its vibrant hues, Imperial Topaz ranges from saturated golden-sherry to reddish-orange with pink or yellow undertones. This term, "Imperial Topaz", strictly refers to stones with intense, saturated colors within this narrow spectrum, and is highly sought after by gem collectors. The term "Imperial" is thought to originate from two main theories: one links it to Russian Tsars, who reserved the finest Ural mountain topaz for royalty, while the other attributes it to Brazil’s Emperor Peter II, who received a reddish topaz in 1881.
