{"product_id":"blue-topaz-gold-vermeil-necklace","title":"Gold Vermeil Blue Topaz Cascade Drop Necklace","description":"\u003cp\u003eFive-faceted cubes of Blue Topaz form an elegant vertical pendant, their crisp geometry and sparkling facets punctuated by warm gold vermeil spacers. Each stone catches the light as the pendant moves, bringing a lively shimmer to its clean, architectural silhouette. The wire holding the stones curves into a bail at the top, suspending the pendant from a fine 18-inch, gold vermeil curb chain. Cool blue tones meet golden accents in a refined design that is equally lovely worn alone or layered with other favourite pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGold vermeil combines a sterling silver base with a layer of gold, bringing the warmth of gold to a precious silver foundation. The fine curb chain is finished with 18K gold over sterling silver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTopaz is a fluorine-bearing aluminium silicate mineral that typically forms in igneous environments, particularly granite pegmatites and cavities within rhyolite. Notable sources include Brazil, Nigeria, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Naturally Blue Topaz is relatively rare, and much of the Blue Topaz used in jewellery begins as colourless material that is irradiated and heat treated to develop its blue colour. Topaz has a hardness of 8 on the Mohs scale, but its perfect cleavage means it still needs protection from knocks and sudden temperature changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn crystal traditions, Blue Topaz is associated with calm, clarity and honest communication. Often linked symbolically with the throat chakra, it is regarded as a stone of self-expression, encouraging thoughtful words and the confidence to speak from the heart. These are traditional spiritual associations rather than scientifically established healing effects, giving the gemstone a meaning to enjoy alongside its beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlue Topaz is a birthstone for December, making this necklace a thoughtful gift for a December birthday or a personal keepsake for anyone drawn to its luminous colour and symbolism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHandcrafted at Rachel Hartley Atelier.  Arrives gift ready.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rachel Hartley Atelier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":66150015304029,"sku":null,"price":85.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1061\/2909\/7053\/files\/gv_topaz3.jpg?v=1791462524","url":"https:\/\/rachelhartley.co.uk\/products\/blue-topaz-gold-vermeil-necklace","provider":"Rachel Hartley Atelier","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
